When using the Find dialog (Ctrl+F), if you hit the “In Document” button it sends the results to the “Message Window”, which shows the filename as a prefix for each line number your keyword is found in.
This makes sense when using “In Session” because it is showing search results of multiple documents open in your Geany session, however "In Document" is only for showing the current document so the filename prefix is not really needed.
I imagine this is done to keep the code the same but seems like it could be eliminated if possible.
Filenames could be long so this takes up lot of space per message window line.
This could also be a visual indicator to let user know to let user know that the results are just from one document (using In Document), this way “In Session” search results in message window appears differently.

If this update gets made could....
Just show line numbers
8:
9:
10:

or if that is not desired could just use "line" prefix instead
line 8:
line 9:
line 10:

Just an idea
Thank You
