And another one :)

Hitting Enter on a file (or double clicking), in the result list, just opens it 
as expected. The same operation on a folder does nothing. How about opening the 
clicked folder in a tab ?

There are several benefits, like when find result is a folder in deep hierarchy 
and the long path is not fully visible. What should i do with it anyway if i 
can't see where it is ?

Now thinking the path should be shown completely somehow is leading into the 
wrong direction, because what you almost always want is 'going to that folder'. 
Double click to open in tab solves that problem.

I think this feature could be implemented independently from the way the 
results are shown (separate window or tab). Just only that treating the result 
list more and more like a 'virtual panel list'. Virtual tabs would be quite 
powerful and create tons of new bugs >;) but it's straightforward isn't it.
