    Is there any option to have 'Find String List' of each file tab in respect?
    It's unlikely to support having each results.

      There is only 1 Find String List view at the moment (UE v21.30.0.1010) containing the results of last search independent on which file it was executed.

      Instead of using command Find with option List lines containing string it is also possible to use Find in Files with either Open files or Files listed to get a list of found lines to output window. In UltraEdit there are 2 output window tabs and in UEStudio even 4. So it is possible to get an independent list of lines for 2 or 4 individual files.

      By having enabled the setting Use active file path for default directory at Advanced - Configuration - Search - Advanced, opening Find in Files dialog with Files listed selected results in setting for Directory the directory of the active file. Then only the name of the active file either completely or wildcards must be entered under In files/types to limit Find in Files to 1 file only.

      Another method to limit a Find in Files to a single file is using command Edit - Copy File Path/Name, then open the Find in Files dialog and paste the file name with complete path into edit field of In files/types with Ctrl+V. The Directory must be cleared before running the Find in Files now on just this file.

      It would be possible with an UltraEdit script to run a Find in Files searching for a string entered on start of script for active file only using the output tab currently active on script execution to automate this process a little bit.

      With the found lines in active output window tab, it is possible to navigate from within the document window with Ctrl+Shift+Down Arrow and Ctrl+Shift+Up Arrow to the lines listed in active output window. (The keys can be changed in key mapping configuration dialog.) I miss this key navigation feature for Find String List view which is the reason why I mainly use Find in Files to get a list of lines for a file. Of course I have sent a feature request email to IDM support for adding also commands for quick line navigation in document window by keys based on the lines in Find String List view.
