My JS files often contain multiple Functions

Is there any way to show which Function a line of code is in, in the Search Results ?

The closest I’ve gotten to this is to have your “Outline” view open while browsing your Search Results. Use the Search Results to navigate to a particular piece of code, and the outline should tell you (highlight) what function you’re in.

It becomes slightly more effective if you turn on “Show Source of Selected Element Only” while you are browsing the results as well.

file search is just what it is, it is a plain text file search over everything (or over your scope)  
it doesn’t understand that it can also be some kind of structured thing.  
Besides that File search is plain eclipse that’s nothing of servoy
