This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Nit-picking question. For example Eclipse has both Find and Search features, is there a difference?
Find[^]
2. to locate, attain, or obtain by search or effort
Search[^]
2. to look at or examine (a person, object, etc.) carefully in order to find something concealed
Is there a reason why find is used more extensively in applications? Can they be used interchangeably?
|

I think the two are used pretty interchangeably in software.
to me, "Find" implies a result you are expecting, while "Search" implies more of an open-ended look.
a) I want to Find this sting in these documents.
b) I want to Search for this string in these documents.
to me, a) implies I am expecting to find it, while b) implies I don't really know if it is there or not.
So usually in source code I want to find something, whereas on the interwebs, I am searching to see if I can find something.
So Find is slightly more positive.
But that's just me.

I agree, Find suggests it will do what you want, Search suggests it will hope to do what you want.

Thanks for all the replies.
This automatically answers why Google is "Search" and not "Find" (which didn't occur to me to question)
Eclipse's division of terms makes no sense though, I guess the two were added by different dev teams, to settle some kind of difference in opinion.

I suspect that it's historical: Find was used because the shortcut key CTRL+F didn't clash with that for Save CTRL+S
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

If I can't find, I search.
Find: the odd one out.
Search: for the missing airliner on the ocean floor.

The attempt to find is the search; finding is the successful outcome of a search.

"Find" is used when the "Search" button is too small

IMO, it makes absolutely no sense and when designing an application yourself you should avoid copying that. Ignoring unrelated meanings, finding is by definition either the successful outcome of a search or an incidence happening by chance. So it makes no sense to offer it as an action in an application.
