how can I search something in all files in a given folder in eclipse also how can I search up, it's seems like only going down the document
sometimes I am working on single files, so there is no project defined. I know about the search in project feature

Ctrl + Alt + G can be used to find selected text across a workspace in eclipse. Show activity on this post. Press Ctrl + H to bring up the search that includes options to search via project, directory, etc.
To get there, we go to the menu under Navigate > Open Type in Hierarchy or we use the shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + H on a PC or Cmd + Shift + H on a Mac. This dialog is similar to the Open Type dialog. Except for this time when we click on a class, then we get the Type Hierarchy view.
If you go to Search>Files... you'll have an advanced search dialogue where you amongst others can specify the scope to search in (all of the workspace, selected resources only etc.). Is this what you're looking for?
And also, if searching through a single file (+), you have the standard search dialogue where you can specify search direction to either forward or backward.

I reccomend that you learn the short-cuts for these tasks. (Key-combination is found right beside the menu-item.)
