    The occurrences found are displayed in a tree showing the file name,
    the line number and the text found. The file will be opened upon a double
    click onto the respective entry of the list. If the widget is in replace
    mode the line below shows the text after replacement. Replacements can
    be authorized by ticking them on. Pressing the replace button performs
    all ticked replacement operations.
