Yeah, I believe I have confirmed that a few times in the past ;)

It works a bit like you outline, and actually with more sources, since “selection” is now also just a source, so you can “search for […] in […]” where the ‘in’ can be document, selection, folder, project, recent folders, etc. -- and you can hit either “next” or “find all” where the latter is the “find in project” functionality, but available for all sources, though the default button changes depending on source, so return does “next” for non-file finds, and “find all” for file finds -- also, the “in”-pop-up has cmd-F and shift-cmd-F bound to the “document” and “project” entries, so basically the key strokes are like now, i.e. shift-cmd-F + return does “find all” in project where cmd-F + return does “find next” in document -- but the extra options exist, and another nicety is that now “find in project” has the previous/next functionality (i.e. do a file search and use cmd-G to step through the results and have it go to next file when hitting the end of the current)…
Oh… and the search is multi-threaded -- but enough tease :p
