Missing tabs in v8.1 'Find in Files' feature

I work on a million-line source code base and I use the 'Find in Files' feature all the time. It is particular helpful when finding Makefile and perl variable names that could reside in hundreds of files spread amongst thousands of C++ files in our project.

In previous codelite releases, you could turn on an option that would save the results of every 'Find in Files' request to a new "tab" window under the 'search' topic of the output pane.

Would you consider putting this option back in? It was extremely helpful to have these results saved because I can instantly flip back to them. Re-running searches in our large codebase can be time-consuming.

Thanks.

This was temporarily removed and will be re-introduced slightly different in the next build
instead of tabs (which consumes space) I plan on adding history where you can select the query to watch

I might be able to provide you with a .deb file for the next weekly build
