[wingide-users] Re: Tree view for Search in Files

[Wing IDE Support]

These are good ideas.  Just a couple of things:

* You can have multiple search in files tools, just right click on a 
tool tab and insert a new search if files tool
* Uncheck Options -> Auto Restart Searches to disable refreshing the 
results after edits

Cheers,

John
