Description
The "Search Results" has a setting "Scope" that defines where it will search.
However, the "Current Project" option is very ambiguous.
I had expected this to be the Active Project, but it is not. In fact I actually thought it was broken and searching the first "inactive" project.
After further investigation, it appears to search the project of whichever file most recently had focus in an editor.
However there is no way to see which project it will search until after the search has taken place.
It would be better to show the name of the project that will be searched, as this avoids any ambiguity.
Finally, I would also find an "Active Project" option very useful - it's what I had expected Current to do.
