Doing a 'Find and Replace' in multiple files was less intuitive that I would have expected. It's really a two-step process: (1) do a search from the Navigator view, and (2) do a replace in the results that are displayed in the Search view. Here's a short example. Highlight your resources to search in the Navigator view and click the Search button in the toolbar. 
Put your search parameters into the Search pop-up window. I selected to do a File Search for 'password' -- ignoring case -- of all selected resources. 
After clicking the Search button in the Search pop-up window, the search is performed, and the results are displayed in the Search view. 18 matches for 'password' were found in the tomcat-demo project.
