[Geany] Find in Files request

I use Geany a lot for maintaining fairly large projects (~25k LOC) and 
spend a lot of time using "Go to Tag Definition", "Find Document Usage", 
etc. from the editor context menu. Of course, very often the tag isn't 
found because the file that is needed hasn't been loaded yet. So the 
next step is a "Find in Files" search through maybe up to 50 files or 
so. This seems to be a very natural way of working.

So could the "Find in Files" function be located in the editor context 
menu along with the other Find and Go to choices? I'm not suggesting 
that it be moved from the Search pull-down menu, just an alternate way 
of getting to it. These functions are all logically related especially 
for this kind of work.

Thanks,

Bob Snyder
