How to search a file in eclipse clearcase?

I am using eclipse clearcase remote client. Everytime i wish to check out the file, i am going into the long branch. Is there any way to find a file directly in the root like searching开发者_StackOverflow?

If you are using CCRC, you are using a snapshot view, which have an config spec specifying:

• what you are selecting (this is the part you need to adjust to check out the right version in the right branch)
• what you are loading on your disk.

As mentioned in this comparison matrix between CCRC and other ClearCase instances,

CCRC can only search the local copy area’s database for checkouts, hijacks, view privates.

I would recommend making a second CCRC web view, and make some tests on that view (with a small set of files loaded).
