I belive, in the past, all search results for a module were grouped by Content Root - so, if my project has a single module but multiple content roots, my search hits on files within the same packages but of different content roots, will not be mixed together but will be placed into their own hierarchy of "find results" starting with their content root. Now hits from all content roots of a module are combined together into a common package based hierrarchy with no regard to their content roots. I find it inconvenient because it mixes files I purposefully separated using different content roots For complete discussion please referer to http://www.intellij.net/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=250180
