Some thoughts on GTK Find in Files.

I miss the Find in Files Help option.  I often use this in J6 to find 
documentation about specific J topics.

I miss the ability to dynamically associate one or more file suffixes with 
searches. I use J6 FIF to search many directories were I want to be selective 
about the file suffixes searched.  In J, I often want to limit searches to IJS 
files.  In J7 GTK, I find that many of my searches get many unwanted hits in 
.htm, .html, .txt, .ijt files.  In J6, I use J FIF to find MS SDK information 
in 
.h files, which doesn't work in J7.

I found

FifExts=: (<'') , '.' ,each ;: 'c cfg htm html ijs ijt jproj js k q qproj r s 
txt'

but, in my opinion, a single, hard coded list of file extensions for FIF is not 
nearly as useful as the J6 usage of named File Type lists of extensions that 
could be dynamically selected for each search.
