WildEdit Feature Request

Love the product!

Maybe I'm missing something, but one thing that would make my life easier is the ability to simply search in files without replacing the found text. I know this is possible in TextPad (and other tools) but the search criteria box is quite small for anything other than a small regular expression. The ability to parse the regular expression prior to execution would be a bonus along with the ability to easily save the regular expression. It would also be nice to have a right-click context menu allow me to open WildEdit for the specified directory; E.g. C:\foo\bar [right-click] "Search With WildEdit".

This is how I can see the UI:
* Add an option/check box to the group that says "Find Only"
* Add a control somewhere that would allow me to parse the regular expression
* Add a control that would allow me save the regular expression
* The log window would allow me to dbl-click or use a context menu to perform actions on the found file; E.g., Edit With ...

Thanks and keep up the great work!
