I do use F3 etc within the module.

I notice that after the global search is done it lists all the occurrences, 
and that one can just click on each line which then loads the code module.

I guess what I'm suggesting is that within the same searchbox that pops up 
when you search a module, it has an option of 'search globally', and that then 
- F3 would just move to the next occurrence in the project, not just continue 
going and look for everything.

In a large project like mine, if one starts the global search, there is no way 
to stop it apparently and if the svn tree contains many megs of files then it 
takes quite some time to complete.
