Intellij IDEA - searching in jars - I require decompilation

Is it possible to search some phrase not only in project files ?
I mean: I choose some jar, and force Intellij to search in this and decompilate if it is needed.

Any ideas ?

Yes, it is possible, if you have the sources of the libraries as jars or in zip files (libraries from JDK).

Press CTRLSHIFTF , type in the string to search and select the option below:

Obtaining the sources is very easy if you're using maven. My example shows the searchfor the constructor of the class HttpGet in Apache HttpClient.
