Searcher

The file contents searcher searches all files in the current directory recursively for a given input string.

The searcher displays the directory at the top, then an input bar, and then the hits. For each hit, the file name is displayed, then a line for each occurance of the string with the line number.

The commands for the input bar are the same as those for the Finder.
