Search Results Options

I can set Max Search Result Line Length to 2000, but Truncated Search Result Width has a max of 100!
Seems crazy to have such a disparity. Seems like this 2nd value isn't even necessary.
If I set Max line length to 2000, then just truncate everything to 2000.

BTW, I can set def_search_result_truncate_cols to 2000 and it seems to work, so why limit it to 100?


BUG: While recording a macro, changing the value of Truncated Search Result Width isn't recorded.

The context menu in a SearchResults window should have "Configure Options", like the Find dialog does.

Align Columns: Why is this even an option? Seems like they should always be aligned.

Better: Search results windows should be lists with columns: Line, Col, Matched Text.
Optionally a tree display for FindInFiles representing the directory hierarchy of the results.
