Added Functionality - Search Feature

Nick, thanks for the great product!
CTRL-G brings up a dialog with search options; i have two suggestions that i would personally love to see!!

1: make the search go down subdirectory, and display a result in a tempory window
2: in the search result, show the context of the search result...ie a line or 2 before the searched text, and a line or 2 after the searched text!

Currently i m using xplorer2 and a Search and Replace Tool from www.funduc.com. Essentially i m asking for something similiar to the funduc SR tool to be incorporated into xplorer2, so that i will only need to use xplorer2!!

Keep up the great work!!

like in 2x, grep and find commands are separate
when the real find command is developed, it will have capabilities to search text in subfolders and also provide hilighting of the "hit" text like google

a replace capability on the other hand is not something in my plans, with all these many other issues pending

Excellent...i look forward to your future release with the added functionality. I can't stress how some of my development tasks are greatly simplified with your xplorer2. Thank you so much.
