Build solution index only once at first start of the plugin, or when new solution was loaded. Allow the user to re-index the solution manually by providing a "refresh" button. Ideally re-index automatically when a change is detected to the solution (file added, removed or renamed).

Motivation: Currently, everytime the quick open window is popped open, it first crawls through the whole solution (builds an index) and then performs the search. This indexing is time consuming, especially with big solutions. It hinders the user experience, when the user is forced to wait for the indexing to finish each time, he uses the tool.

When the solution structure organizes projects into solution folders, the Project column in the search results states the solution folder name instead of the project name.

Fix this either to show only the project name, or a combination: "SolutionFolderName/ProjectName".

Per user request, make an option (by default disabled) to search for the entered term not only in file names, but in full paths.

Example 1:

Search term: "folder1/somefile.cs" will match: "somefile.cs" in "folder1"

Example 2:

Search term: "folder2/*/somefile2" will match "somefile2.cs" in "folder2" or in any subfolder of "folder2"

In large solutions (thousands of indexed files) where the indexing takes quite long, the user may do this:

1. Invoke the plugin window, type a few letters,
2. close the window,
3. Invoke the window again, type more letters
4. --> crash

This is what happens internally:

1. On the first invoke a full index of the solution is started in a background thread. This indexing takes long enough time that it still runs when the plugin window is invoked again.
2. On the second invoke, another parallel index is started (the first one still runs).
3. When the first index finishes, it starts a search over the indexed data.
4. While the search executes, the second index finishes and rewrites the index collection on which the search query currently executes, resulting in a race condition.
