Searching Java project without caring about type in Eclipse

One small annoyance in Eclipse is that i have to click a radiobutton when searching for a declaration that I copy/pasted from a code review/diff/etc.



The UI annoyingly forces me to chose if it is a module, method, field, etc. When i Don't really care and, at least for me, the naming conventions in the projects will make them a single match any way (e.g. a module name will never match a field)



Yet I always forget to change the radio button; get zero results; open the search again; change the radio button.



Since the search is pretty quick, is there any way to force eclipse to search all of the options at once, and then let me pick the right match in the results (in the rare case where I will get more than one anyway)



The radio buttons are the ones in the field group labeled "Search for" in the screeenshot bellow:
