  implementation searches all the files in a particular directory with

The best implementation I've seen of multi-file search was the (old)  
CodeWarrior IDE search window. You could add arbitrary files to  
the list of files to be searched by dragging icons from the Finder  
directly into the list field. The file list was in the main search  
window, but could be hidden when it wasn't in use. Having everything in  
one combined search dialog was very handy. Hey, Google found a  
screenshot:
