Reentrant/Multiple Search result windows

It'd be quite helpful if you could have several search result windows (or tabs) since it's not that uncommon that you e.g. search for some text and want to keep that list of VIs while searching for something else. Especially when the projects get into several thousand VIs it takes a while to do the search, thus i prefer to not do it again ...

Nice, but how would you use Ctrl+G and Ctrl+Shift+G to navigate back and forth through the result items if there are multiple result windows? Maybe navigate through the items of the last result window that gained the focus?

@wiebe strange that i didn't find any on my search before posting. Oh well, I'll kudo the original and as i see it's from 2011 this is an old issue/wish.

That happens a lot. The search is extremely nitpicky.
