Just commenting on the looks for now.

Can you easily change the text thats being displayed? Then I'd exchange "Toggle display" with "Expand" or "Collapse" depending on the state of the entry. That is IMO much clearer in what it does than "Toggle display".

I think the "1 use", "2 uses" etc. behind the actual code-entries could be removed. Its rather clear from the list below that how many uses there are and since we break this down to function-level already its usually only a few anyway.

When you add comments to the code, don't explain what you did - or at least not only what you did - but why. That'll also help you decide which comments are really necessary.

Otherwise the widget looks much nicer now.

Just look at the screenshots: it found way more occurences in the first screenshot than in the second (which happened after a reparse of some projects). And this has nothing to do with my changes. :)
