Then we could add a FIF dialog checkbox 'Use project patterns'. That also allows the user to still do normal searches outside the project.
That option would also be useful to search files with no extension - README, ChangeLog, NEWS, etc without having to add all those filenames to the pattern.
I like your idea in general, the only thing I don't like about it is that you wouldn't see the patterns in the FIF dialog, which would make it a bit unclear what you are searching for. I would propose to have a "file types" edit box that would be editable by the user even if no project is opened - this makes sense because users might want to search for restricted set of files even if they don't use any project.
SciTE, Notepad++ and UltraEdit all have such a field, labeled "Files:", "Filters" and "In Files/Types" respectively.
