Search filesystems dialog could have simple history of searched objects, implemented as e.g. combo box similar to what has action Find in editor. And also last searched element could be saved in the text field for next search. I know that there is some functionality to save criterion under some name, but it's **too** heavyweight just for reusing some word in textField.
Set target milestone to TBD

Suggested change in the dialog. The previous appearence is attached. Note the two text-fields for string a regexp in the previous version that are replaced with a single editable combobox and check-box "Regular Expression" in the proposed version. If the checkbox is checked, the other two checkboxes are disabled. +------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | Search for Text Containing: | | +---------------------------------------------+-+ | | | |V| | | +---------------------------------------------+-+ | | | | +-+ | | |x| Match Whole Words | | +-+ | | +-+ | | | | Match Case | | +-+ | | +-+ | | | | Regular Expression | | +-+ | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------+
