Searching (text) and Editing files in Netbeans is easy
One of the most powerful search I loved in Netbeans. I never find it in Eclipse (by default)
My use case is to search a text under 4.5 GB files. For that I use netbeans Favorites window.

| Total directory Size |
Follow the below steps to achieve quick search and edit in Netbeans.
1. Add the directory under Favorites , then search i.e. (Ctrl+F). Optionally you can add filters (*.java,*.html,*.js, *.json, etc.)

| Netbeans Search popup |
2. This search will display the results synchronously, you can stop any time.

| Results Tab |
