Description maarten meijer

Build Identifier: 3.4.2

Especially in the console when displaying logging is very handy to be able to count the number of occurrences. UltraEdit and Notepad++ can do this within a single window and over multiple files and it very useful when scanning log files or source.
When this is in the Find Dialog, then it is also supported in the Console, where all the log entries appear.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Find Dialog
2.Try to hit count button
3.not there

Search indicates the number of matches in the Search view and since the search is done in the background we won't add a button to the search dialog itself.

Dani Megert, as @marten meijer want's to add a count button in (CTLR+F) Find/Replace tab.

* Find/Replace tab very handy, and it will find/replace in current file only, so if count button is added to that it is very helpful.

* As you said CTLR+H search shows matched number, but in different window and we need to set the file path to search in, so if we have count in find/replace it self it will helpful.
