I sometimes need to do a find with "in all documents" checked. When you do this, "find next" selects the next match in every document simultaneously. I can see the utility in that but it's often not useful to my situation. Is there a similar "find next" function that will switch documents automatically or at least show you which documents a match was found in? I might have 3 matches inside 50 open files and I don't know which file to switch to. I feel like this is so simple it must be there somewhere, but I don't know how to do it.

"Find in files" is often not a good workaround, because I need to look only in the currently opened files in the workspace.

The only way I could find was to tile all documents, ensure the text cursor in all of them was at the home position, and then do the Find.
