advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany#4563)

When using the Find dialog (Ctrl+F), if you hit the “In Document” button it 
sends the results to the “Message Window”, which shows the filename as a prefix 
for each line number your keyword is found in.
This makes sense when using “In Session” because it is showing search results 
of multiple documents open in your Geany session, however "In Document" is only 
for showing the current document so the filename prefix is not really needed.
I imagine this is done to keep the code the same but seems like it could be 
eliminated if possible.
Filenames could be long so this takes up lot of space per message window line.
This could also be a visual indicator to let user know to let user know that 
the results are just from one document (using In Document), this way “In 
Session” search results in message window appears differently.

If this update gets made could....
Just show line numbers
`8:`
`9:`
`10:`

or if that is not desired could just use "line" prefix instead
`line 8:`
`line 9:`
`line 10:`

Thank You
