For Kate 21.04 the search plugin went through a reworking of how the results 
are gathered and displayed together with the speed optimization. 

The file path has indeed changed from relative to the project/search folder to 
absolute... I don't remember this being intentional, but I would like to hear 
opinions from the team: Should we go back to removing the common path? 

The copy clipboard could still use the full path...

There is no option for this and I'm not sure if we need one, but we need to 
decide if we should go back to relative paths...

The font should now be the same as the font in the editor window.
