Eclipse open classes from search dialog

Question

After searching for a literal in Eclipse, I get the whole matches list. Then I click twice on one of the matches and the class opens. If I want to open another match the previously opened class closes and the new one appears instead.

This is normally a good thing but sometimes I want to compare both results. Is there a way to tell eclipse not to close the class opened before?

Answer 1

Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Search and uncheck Reuse editors to show matches.
