Currently the overall file search shows only the files which have at least one reference of the search text within.
Could you please, extend this to list all references of the search text by file? Maybe in a tree-like format, and also with some context (e.g. two lines above/below, or the whole lines where the references were found).
Of course this would need longer time to search. But would it be possible to allow this optionally, an the user can decide if he/she wants to have only the file list or all references within all files.
Additionally: If we jump out of the file list into the file itself, could you apply the search-pattern into the file search field, so we can immediately continue searching in the file itself? And if we go back could you open the file search again at the same position as we were before?
