Find in file in merge view

Problem description

Need to "find in file" in the merge view.

Preferred solution

Command-F lets you search within the file. Maybe choose which pane to search in or search in all of them?

Looks like an extension of #429 for the merge resolution view.

This definitely overlaps #429 although that's essentially a design brainstorming session. I'm not advocating a specific solution here. I'm just trying to express the requirement: "As a user performing a merge, I'd like a way to search within the files I'm merging".

A specific example: My conflict is between "import A" and "import B". I want to search down and see if A is being used? Is B being used? Are they both being used? Without knowing that I can't resolve the conflict. Workaround is open the file in an editor. Although searching within sublime merge would be a lot better, if it could search in all 3 versions of the file at once (left, center and right). With perhaps the option to restrict the search to just 1 of them.
