Replace in projects search results

Ok, here what could be better:
When you select "replace in project" from the Edition menu...
you type the usual things...
After hitting the " find " (weird name when it is intended for a replace task imo)

The found occurences of text to replace are marked in files (ok)
what bothers me come after that:
- related files are shown in a tab (aside of the output window) and this tab can be easliy confused for regular search results one

To know that this is the replace windows you need to notice the small arrow (or diamond.. that not clear to me) and hover on it to see the tooltip saying "Replace"

At first sight it was almost impossible to notice this... so much that I was under the impression that the feature was defective....

So I think that there could be some improvement regarding the UI...
