I am looking for something like Textmate's fuzzy search on Command-T, FuzzyFinder in Vim, or Ido in Emacs. Does it exist? If no, how do you prefer to do it?

I am still interested in a real fuzzy search, so if i want to search for "user_helper.rb" I just want to write "ushlrb". Eclipse forces you to use patterns, in this case "*us*rb". Anyone knows a plugin for eclipse for a real fuzzy search? – Denis Feb 07 '11 at 19:10

CTRL + SHIFT + r will search each for any "Resource" (file), anywhere in your project
CTRL + SHIFT + e will search for a specific open file (ie. your buffers)
CTRL + SHIFT + PageUp/PageDown will navigate to the next/previous open buffer
CTRL + SHIFT + Left/Right will navigate backward/forward in your browsing history
(eg. if you went from tab 1 to tab 5 to tab 2 and then hit CTRL+SHIFT+Left, you'd go back to tab 5; you could then hit CTRL+SHIFT+Left to go back to tab 1, or ...+Right to go back to tab 2)
Hope that helps.

You can use GotoFile plugin. Type Ctrl+Alt+N to use. Works with Eclipse Juno.

Ctrl+3
gives contextual text search across editors, commands and preferences. I only recently discovered this one - not sure if it was a new feature with Eclipse 3.5.

Ctrl+Shift+R
works for files, Ctrl+Shift+T
for types. Still looking for an answer for buffers.

2None of these are true "fuzzy" searches. They all require you to enter the beginning of the file name. – Jim Mitchener May 31 '11 at 22:54
