1. Don't display the names of files that don't match the filter

This will have no effect on performance. (Multi-file searching is multithreaded so that displaying doesn't slow the search down.)

2. If BBEdit is looking inside some files that are archive files, to see if any files in it match the filter, I'd like to be able to turn this off. I have a huge number of zipped files that are not relevant.

You can, using the "Options" button in the Multi-File Search window. Turn off "Search compressed files."

3. Instead of enumerating matching files itself, could BBEdit make use of the OS to do that?

Multi-file searching already uses the file system APIs, which is what the command would do. So this will not increase performance. :-)

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
