In another thread, we were discussing/suggesting the ability to filter the Data Explorer tree... ie, for all items that meet the search criteria, show the item and all of its "ancestors"... parent, grandparent, all the way up. The Search item definition could have an option to show results in Data Explorer instead of the Search Results pane.

This would also allow you to view the Child Items pane for any of the found items while maintaining a view of the search results in Data Explorer (so no need to have to click "Back" to get back to the results)... that issue was discussed on another thread.
