Log, Filter: improve search for 'Content' in files performance
Better search for 'Content' in files.
This feature basicaly works but it is not usable in most of time so I have to fallback to command line and user 'git grep' to find what I need *in seconds*.
The way I use it now:
In the log screen I type searched string and check the 'Content' type.
The commits are being searched and now there are two problems:
First problem: The 'Files' view will not get filled/updated with searched data until whole repository search is completed. In big repositories that means I will never get the results and can wait for ages. Using 'git grep' I complete this part in seconds. It would be great to have *a button to stop searching* for commits and start analyzing the 'Files' output.

I wonder if this feature is in any interest of the SmartGit's developers group?
First problem: by default, SmartGit tries to build a graph of the filtered commits. This requires to look-ahead. Is responsiveness better when unselecting "Show Graph While Filtering"?
Second problem split off to https://smartgit.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/1500-
Vote for this feature, fast visual git grep with ability to open file with internal and (using command line) in external editor could be a fantastic feature.
