First tests (Find only) look good to me. Couple of quick questions:

1) Remnants of prior search
After a prior search, I still had a text string in the 'Find' entry, but I wanted to quickly select all paths (within nested groups), and deactivated the prior single checked property 'Attribute name':

Expected result: 633 items found
(all paths in 'icons.svg' (within nested groups) are found and selected)

Actual result: "Not Found"
(the string "foo" seems to get matched, but against which property?)

-> if all properties are deactivated, should not any find string be ignored?

2) Usability 'Object types':
After having searched for e.g. all objects of a certain type only, it happens very easily to have no 'Object Type' activated at all (and nothing gets found anymore), e.g. when the special type is deactivated, but 'All Types' not explicitly activated again.
Could there be some kind of check that 'All Types' gets activated by default if none of the other types is selected (when 'Find' is pressed), or are there other types -not listed- which are still considered for the search (not obvious to the user)?
