The find in files option is currently applicable to filesystems and folders. It would be useful if it was applicable to a selection of files as well. A neat result of this is that you could refine a find operation by performing a find and then selecting the files in the "Search Results" list and perform a new find on those specific files. By the way, its inconsistent that the menu option is called "Find" but the results are called "Search Results".
Also, it would be good if "Find" could be applied to all members of a group.
Set target milestone to TBD
