It would be nice if the results could be shown in tree form.  Often you're
looking for a particular instance or two and don't want to visit them all.
Position in the tree is a useful and easy criteria when you go to mentally
prune the search results.  In practice as long as the file name is there
that's almost as good, I'm not sure if knowing tree position is worth the
extra effort or not.
