Search only the selected folder and it's descendants #15

Ack in Project had the ability to only search the selected folder in the project drawer. I don't seem to be able to get this working in AckMate. I'd love to have this back because my projects can get quite large and the searches take much longer than they should.

Holding (or releasing) the command key toggles the ackmate window between "search the whole project" and "search in selection" mode.

When the command-key is pressed, you can see the "Search" button change to "In Selection". If you don't have a folder selected in TextMate, the search button is disabled during "In Selection".

So basically, in the ackmate window: return searches the whole project, command-return searches just your selected folder.

Awesome Protip! :) Could you make it a bit more obvious, e.g. by a checkbox under "advanced"?
