public MethodSymbolSearch(SymbolSearch from)

MethodSymbolSearch

public MethodSymbolSearch(String newName,
 SymbolSearch from)

Create a method search from an existing search, but with a new name.

MethodSymbolSearch

public MethodSymbolSearch(MethodSymbol methodSymbol)

Create a method search given a method symbol. But this does not set the expected type. This is very useful for finding overridden methods where the returning type is different but compatible.

public MethodSymbolSearch(String newName,
 MethodSymbol methodSymbol)

Create a method search given a method symbol, but used a new method name.§ But this does not set the expected type. This is very useful for finding overridden methods where the returning type is different but compatible.
