In the Where field you can also add filters to search only folders and files that you need. If nothing is set, the search is made on all files listed in the sidebar.

The first (show context) toggles context in result format (if enabled, some lines of text are shown before and after the matching line). The second allows to show the result in a new buffer, or in a console.
