find in files search results

Heya

1.) I would like to see my search results, when using "find in files", in its own window at the bottom of the screen without having to switch between the source windows and search result window. The same could perhaps be done for command results. Like create a new window with tabs for "Search Results" and "Command Results" etc.

2.) I would like to be able to search "all open files" and "current open file" in the same way - i.e. without having to specify a directory.

Kind regards,

1.) http://textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3858, pls vote!
2.) I think you can do that by pressing F5 and tick "In all documents"

1.) Tnx, and u got my vote.

2.) Nope, not exactly. It does not open a new "search results window" displaying all occurrences where the sting/regex was found.

2.) Agreed. But I like the current function, perhaps this should be an option.
Oh, and Helios, that "feature" is still there, the tick for "In all documents"
disappears if you close the Find dialog. Using TP472 on WinXPsp1Pro.
