Adam and Razi,

I'm so happy to see this feature implemented!
The behavior is great, results appear fast and in an intuitive manner, I really like the way you coded this.

After some playing around, a few notes:
1. Looks like the setting should be done differently, currently it reads as though there's a new separate dock just for this. Since this is an enhancement to an already existing dock, I think it should say something like "Enable extended search (restart required)".
2. ...and once it's enabled, I believe the default behavior change to searching all open documents (meaning - no need for shift-enter to make it happen).
3. Only mouse clicks make the viewport jump between results, it's not possible at the moment to use this feature with the keyboard. I would suggest making this feature work with the Up/Down keys and/or the standard "Find next" shortcut.
4. Small bug: Since the results can be lengthy now, I've moved the search dock to the side (combined with the Outline dock). Now, pressing Ctrl+F doesn't focus the search dock - it just opens in the background as another tab in the dock. I have to use the mouse to click the tab, and only then it's focused on the search term. Positioning the dock BELOW the Outline dock is a good workaround for now, though.

Besides these, this implementation is EXACTLY what I meant for this to be!
Really tremendous work, job well done!
