Currently, the files in which the IDE searches,
are specified in the Find in Files dialog in the
'Object Name' and 'Type' tabs. This is not a good
solution for several reasons.

First, not all object types are intuitive and
correspond to user expectations. For example, the
'HTML objects (executable)' or 'JSP-based Java
Servlet objects' are not intuitive. Furthermore,
with the changes in the OpenAPIs/Projects, it is
not even necessary to provide a DataLoader (object
type in the user terms) in order to give it
functionality. So, the object type is not a
concept that should be exposed to the user - it is
only an implementation detail. [This is one of the
places where the architecture "shows through".]

Moreover, the dialog does not easily allow
searching in e.g. all *.dat files.

Next, specifying the search criteria requires too
much clicking. It should be possible to enter the
most widely used criteria in just one tab.

So, I would suggest that the object name and type
is specified in one text field using the
star/question mark syntax, e.g. *.java. This would
make the use more intuitive, and also save user
some tedious work.
