I'm using this feature pretty often on different kind of source code and log files, but never experienced this issue. I stress-test it right now by searching in more than 11000 project files and also in a certain folder - all fine. When I open a found file from the file search results, I don't have the little triangle in file tab as shown in your screenshot (indicating file is not saved).
