Search results unnecessarily clipped

Issue Type: Bug

When searching it appears that results will have words clipped from the beginning, presumably to ensure the matched text is visible. However, text is unnecessarily clipped when there is still plenty of space remaining. This has the effect and making it seem random and broken. I’d expect the left clipping to be based on the view width, the same way that right clipping is.

Also, there’s a ... indicator when text is clipped on the right, but there’s no way to tell that text is being clipped on the left. This also makes it harder to understand why text is missing. I’d expect to see ... on the left also.

The keybinding to open a result in the Search Editor is F12 (or whatever Go To Definition is bound to)

I don’t find the Search Editor to be a suitable replacement for the search panel.

• It takes up a tab group, rather than being a separate panel that makes space for itself
• I don’t see keybindings to “select” a result and go to the code location
• Syntax highlighting is almost always incorrect and therefore more harmful than helpful
• I find the indentation unhelpful
