Eclipse: Making Eclipse's "search in project" less unhelpful?

Eclipse's "find in project" took is, as far as I can tell, blindingly stupid.

Let me illustrate. This is what I get when I run a "find in project":

find in project

And when I click to see what's in that "closed" skinning folder I get...

even more unhelpful

... and so on.

So how can I make this more helpful? Am I doing something wrong?

Ideally, I'd like to see something along the lines of, say, ack, the tool I normally use:

useful!

Clicking the "Expand All" icon (the tiled squares with + on the front one) can help, but I don't think you can hide the top level items.

Ah, I completely missed that button. Good to know. Thanks!

How about using the little triangle menu in the search results, and selecting "View as List"?

Awesome! Now it shows me all the files… But not the matching lines. Is there any way to get it to show those, too?

Yeah, that's sort of annoying that you can't see the lines in that mode.
