Reduce scope of a text search to a particular type of code in COBOL editor

Currently, when the user searches for a text in the COBOL code, the search is done on the whole code, including code coming from macrostructures, code generated from the design, code generated from micro-patterns and specific user code. Often, the user knows in which type code he wants to search. So the user would like to have new option in the text search dialog in order to select the types of code (macro, generated, specific) he wants to search into.
