Search in several codepages simultaneously

Total Commander can search text in files using four codepages:

* ANSI (Windows) (by default)
* ASCII (DOS)
* Unicode
* UTF-8

But user can select only one of these codepage. If user doesn't knew or forgot codepage, he must repeat search four times. It's uncomfortable.

Can you allow user to select several codepages simultaneously?

P.S. In TC 7.50 you add in Lister many new codepages. Can you also support these codepages in Search?

In principle it would be possible, but make the search much slower...

I support this suggestion even the search can be slower. It is better one time at slower speed than 4 time at faster. Besides that most of modern computers are fast enough.

It is up to user if he wants to have slower search.

What about adding such feature to plugins page under tc (like for comments search)?

As long as it is a setting that is off by default, then I don't care one way or the other. But if it slows down the search at all, it is not needed.
