The "Search Filesystems" result window has a problem revealed by a recent usability test. Participants, either didn't see the list of positions on the right (often because it was obscured). Even when they did, they didn't realize they could double click on an individual position. Instead, all participants double-clicked on the file names in the left panel and then tried to locate the relevant text within the source window by hand, with the Find command or by looking up the line number listed in the Position list. It might be good to intermix the information on the left and right panels in some manner. For instance, if a tree were used, expanind a file might show the positions within it (the relevant line of text could be shown to the right of this as well).

*** Issue 33718 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Implemented together with fixes of bugs #19484 ("OOME when performing search on larger FS") and #33717 ("Find: should show the matching text"). The search results window is no longer split into two panels. When a node representing a matching object is expanded, its subnodes display matching lines found in the object's primary file. Within each line, the matching text is in bold.
