I think the UI should b changed. The layout management of the dialog is worse
or not implemented ina a good way.
Some months ago I collected some screenshots from other bibletprograms including searchdialog.
Perhaps this will give you a good ideahow to do it.

My ideas:
The found-items list in the searchdialog is a class derived from CGroupManager.
To work with entries later select the entries or groups you lke and drag them into 
the groupmanager of BIbleTime's mainwindow. They are added as bookmarks and you can work with them.

I need some time to think about this.
Basically:
-The UI of the searchdialog
-Some new features to the dialog (e.g. predefined verse ranges etc.)
-Better layout management
-Perhaps RegExp editor
-etc.
