Search results window with many result i want to filter

After searching for some content the find dialogs opens the "search results" window.

Using eclipse i am used to reduce the search results (there can be many) by pressing DEL at the unwanted node. Note: The child nodes are also removed, when the parent node is removed. 

My workflow is the following: 
* the search results in to many results,
* i look at the results of a (sub-)node/file, then i decide whether to keep or to remove

This way only the interesting (and most relevant) search result are kept, i keep the overview and the investigation can continue.

I guess it is a simple task, because only the nodes hierarchy in the UI-layer has to be modified.
