I recently had to fix up a big eBook that I had made years ago. I wanted to normalize all the "sgc-x" style classes into a common stylesheet, but it seems like I had done the original book in chunks. This meant that in the first third of the book, sgc-1 might be italics; while in the middle, it might be bold and centred; and in the end, it might be right-aligned.

To repair these by using quick find & replacing, I had to use the "Selected HTML Files" search mode, and I found it a little less than idea, as clicking a tab deselects your selection, and I had to continuously reselect the pages I wanted to work in.

What I think would make more sense is to search within tabs that are opened. This way, I could do a search for the sgc style in the page's header, then find invocations in all opened tabs.

Any chance this is doable/feasible in future updates?
