Use-case or problem:
I frequently fail to find the file in quick switcher and then have to copy or retype the search terms into global search pane which is tolerant to word-order but also ignores text-level (filename = alias = chapter heading = … = marginal mention). This double effort is intrusive.

Or e.g. display two columns, one corresponding to quick-switcher and one to ordinary results so I can click left or right to preferred match. Or …
