Search & Replace - split "in current file" into separate plugin/tab

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

(I know we had similar discussion a few years ago already).
I'd like to split the "Search in current file" into a separate plugin/tab.

For "in current file", less options would be required.
All the "advanced" options are not necessary, so also the button to toggle 
between options and results is not necessary, and always the results would be 
visible.
The "Search" buttin, the "Use current documents folder" button, the mode 
combobox, the "Expand results" button, the "add new search tab" button would 
all not be necessary.
I would suggest that this would always search automatically when the search 
text is modified, without maximum file size.
I would also suggest that it searches automatically when switching to a 
different file, i.e. always the search results for the current search string 
in the current file would be visible.

Together with this, I would suggest to remove the "In current file" search 
mode from the normal "Search and Replace", and also disable the automatic 
search in the current file when typing. To me, this would actually be better 
than it is now, since the automatic searching quite often dismissed my search 
results, while I actually wanted to keep them.

What do you think ?
