Search JavaDoc in Eclipse

Is there a way to search in javadoc comments only (via Eclipse)? I just want to find text within a javadoc comment...

The only way I can think of is to use Eclipse File Search dialog for all .java files and use this regular expression as input:

"(?s:/\*\*([^\*]|\*[^/])*?###INPUT###.*?\*/)"

and replace the ###INPUT### with what you are searching for.

See this other question about this regex.

If the javadoc is in source files that are in your workspace then you can use 'File Search'.
