In revision #3029:

- Global search can be cancelled.

- Non-text files are detected and are not opened by the IDE.

A file is considered as a text file if its 256 first characters can be 
interpreter as an UTF-8 string. If the last UTF-8 character of the 256 byte 
sequence is truncated, it is ignored.

But the current interface remains.
