Searching in eclipse always fails first time, always succeeds seconds time with identical search string
12:23 07 Sep 2011

I've noticed that if I search for something in Eclipse (using it for Android development thus has the Android plugin) then the first time I search for a search string it always says there are no matches, but if I immediatly report the same search, then there are matches.

Using: Search/Search/File Search - then enter something in the "Containing text:" box (Case sensitvie is off, regular expression is off, file name patterns are .). It will report "'search term' - 0 matches in workspace(.).

If I search again it will fail again unless I retype the search term or copy and paste it (no, I'm not mistyping it, if I enter it the first time when it fails, then copy and paste the term for the next successful search its obviously an identical search term).

This happens 100% of the time. Why is it doing this? Its really bugging me, when I search something I have to enter it twice it in order to get the results which is irritating.
