I've keybinded the ctrl-shift-f to thread search and I've not use the standard find in files for ages.

why bother, thread search for the win...

You've got a point. Ideally though I would like the UI to be more consistent.

I prefer the UI of find, however Thread search has "Delete item" in a right-click menu. It also shows filenames in a separate column, which is important, because (on a small screen) it is fine for the path column to have a default size it which it is truncated, but I always want to see the full filename.
Thread search supplies the "Find occurrences" context menu item; if there is a merge, I would like for this item to be supplied by Find in files.

Thread search provides on better option View -> Focus Thread search. I've a key bound to it and I'm using it all the time.
In combination with a disabled option of "Delete previous entries before search" this is the best searcher in town.

For the record: Having applied both patches I see no negative side effect. It seems to work and looks OK.
If you consider to apply, please also remove the obsolete files in SVN and from all build system (projects files, automake).
