Description _ tboudreau 2003-08-24 00:30:21 UTC 
The search results UI needs to be redesigned, both
to be 
more usable, and to fit reasonably into the output
window.

Also consider how to handle the search details,
which are
now shown in the output window if the user clicks
the details
button - integrate into same component, use
separate tab,
or eliminate.

Probably with a decent UI, the details view could be 
eliminated - the details should be reasonably
accessible
via the UI.

Hack factor: 0
Difficulty: 5
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-07-24 20:11:01 UTC 
Probably too vague to be useful.
Comment 3 _ tboudreau 2004-07-24 21:53:03 UTC 
Well, all it would mean is having a subnode under the line number node with the text of 
the line
Comment 4 Marian Petras 2004-10-18 16:06:15 UTC 
This suggests approximately the same changes as issue #17633 ("Info on
right of Search Filesystems result dialog is not seen by new users").
The suggested changes are already applied.
