Search wizard should have 'Consider derived resources' activated by default.

The default behaviour of the search wizard should be to find ALL occurrences of a file including 'derived' versions. The 'consider derived resources' checkbox could be relegated to a 'twisty' in the wizard which allows various filter criteria to be applied to NARROW DOWN the search results.
Currently the default behaviour which ignores many occurrences in the workspace seems back to front.

The results should be listed according to relevance, for example source files followed by derived files...with a clear delineation between the categories of results.
