Here is the output of a search on one of my Pies

It would be helpful in narrowing down the desired result if the search dialog included some surrounding code as context.  
In the following mockups I've only given the context on one of the lines of results.  
(It would need to be shorter than this single line SQL example)

This search returns just functions, but let's say it returned a change node with jsonata, then show the line in the nodes which contains the search term.
