I'm not sure how multiple tabs are more usable here. Can you give more
details?

Instead all Search, replace, Find in files options, in my point of view should 
be only one dialog:
Search with two tabs:
- Search (in current file)
- Search All (all files)
They should keep the form of Find in Files dialog (which have both roles, for 
search and replace)

Find All will create a list of all results in all files, and Find will create 
the results in the current file (nothing new here) and will be put in a list 
(like Find in Files). 
The F3 (Find Next/Replace Next), and Shift+F3 (Find previous) will to in that 
list one item up and down. On that way to be the things the search will reduce 
to less options: Search, Incremental Search, Go to Line. The dialog that users 
should learn is very simple (because will do all steps and you have to learn it 
only once) and will be consistent against all searchings. Incremental Search 
and Go To Line are very simple dialogs and have nothing to change.
