Screenshot of IntelliJ's call hierarchy

A very cool feature I've observed in IntelliJ recently is the way the colour search results by type. For example, when using the Call Hierarchy view, matches in tests are coloured green, and matches in ordinary code are white.

When there are lots of matches in any kind of search similar to the call hierarchy, it is a useful way to quickly distinguish between the two paths, to help filter out the paths that are not immediately useful for a particular search.

Coloring the results could be useful. 

For test code, Eclipse IDE has a filter in both Search view and Call Hierarchy view (View menu > Filters... > Test code) to quickly remove the results from the test code.
