embed in VS window #23

Seems like this extension is pretty much exactly what I am looking for. However it would be more convenient to leave it open embedded in one of the VS areas, perhaps as a tab next to the "output" window for example. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support being embedded in the VS window at the moment. Can it be fixed?

I doubt the addon is (or will be) maintained, so it is unlikely the needed functionality will be implemented :( Anyway if you use VS2017 you can try Ctrl+; (navigation in solution explorer) - it can filter files by given words, and the results are shown in an embedded window.

Anton-V-K is correct, I have very little time compared to when I first produced this nearly 10 years ago.

That being said the code is available to build and if I recall when I originally set it up, it's not too hard to have as a panel you can keep docked. Might have changed since VS2010 though!
