Description of the Issue

There are various search scopes possible for the Replace All, Count and Mark searching functions; they are:

• Selected text (In selection ticked)
• Entire document (Wrap around ticked and In selection not ticked)
• BOF-to-caret (Backward direction ticked and Wrap around and In selection not ticked)
• caret-to-EOF (none of Backward direction , Wrap around , In selection ticked)

It would help the user to output the scope that was searched along with the search results in the Find window status bar.

This allows a user to confirm that their settings were correct (i.e., what they intended), and also provides a more complete picture of the action just completed.

So an example might be, instead of outputting:

Count: 2 matches

Output this:

Count: 2 matches in selected text
