UPDATE: Firefox(TM) style Incremental Search Sidebar module

About 10 days ago I blogged about the Incremental Search Toolbar. Based on the feedback I received, I modified the module to create Firefox (TM) style popular Incremental Search Sidebar.

I have uploaded the Incremental Search Sidebar module to my Netbeans update center described here. This replaces the Incremental Search Toolbar.

The Incremental Search Sidebar mostly works the same way as the Incremental Search Toolbar. The only difference is that each editor has its own Incremental Search Sidebar. I removed the Search Backwards check box also.

The Incremental Search Sidebar is not implemented as an action registered through a layer file. Therefore the standard mechanism i.e. Tools:Options:Keymap cannot be used to modify the key binding. Hence I have updated the module to let you configure the keybinding - Tools:Options:Miscellaneous:Incremental Search.
