Class Match

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.search.ui.text.Match

public class Match extends Object
A textual match in a given object. This class may be instantiated and also subclassed (to add additional match state like accuracy, etc). The element a match is reported against is assumed to contain the match, and the UI will group matches against the same element together. A match has an offset and a length which may be specified in characters or in lines.
