"Find in Files" and binary files

(I submitted this a while back via email, but just discovered the forums, so am re-submitting here.)
Can you make your "Find in Files" option consider "Binary files" to be those that are defined in "Document Class/Binary"? (Currently, it seems to think that binary files are only those with a null in them.) There are a lot of file types that are binary-like, and I don't want them searched e.g. Java .class files and Textpad .tws files. But since these don't have nulls, they get searched, and I get lots of junk back from Find in Files.
Sharing a common definition of a binary file between Document Class and Find in Files provides the user the best control this aspect of TextPad.
