The **"Show search options" button** is easily missed and would better fit where the other search options are. For consistency the "add new search tab" button could be moved, too.

Add something to **restrict a "Current project" search to the current folder** a root.
- Either a new combobox item "Current project (current folder)"
- Or an option for "Folder": "Restrict to project files" (like KDevelop does it)

See https://phabricator.kde.org/T10279: Use **Ctrl+Shift+F** instead of Ctrl+Alt+F for search.

**Merge the Ctrl+F and Ctrl+R functions** from the current implementation to the Search&Replace plugin where they automatically select **"In Current File"** (and Ctrl+Shift+F will select the previous selected option so that key-wise everything stays the same.
Clarifiation: after the merge the shortcuts Ctrl+F and Ctrl+R should NOT be removed but work as before. Ctrl+F will select "In Current File" (and, if possible, hide the replace input field to reduce waste of space).
