The search is done entirely via ABAP (as opposed to the ADT Source Search). There is an option to run the search in parallel for better performance
Search can be done via normal String search or with Regular Expressions. If supported by the system it is also possible to activate PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions)
You can execute the search via report ZADCOSET_SEARCH, where most of the options are available as well, but the main focus of the UI will be ADT (see ABAP Code Search).
