RFE: Similar Searches Should Display Similarity %

At least for Regular & Image modes.
And if similarity % isn't actually known, at the least Similar should be differentiated from those that are 100% (either 100% Same Content or 100% Similar [which I suppose is the same thing ;-)]).

I've considered this but haven't thought of a nice way to implement it, as the similar % differs depending which two files you are looking at.

Well, if at least 2 (or more) files are identical, they can be marked as such, "100%".
After that, hmm.
You might take the the specified search percentage & simply say that all others in the group would be whatever that percentage is, so if you search used 90%, others are simply shown as "90" with 90 to mean 90% similar - but without the connotation that there is any identical-ness (identical-ity, <sp>, <sp>, <wordchoice>) between anything outside of 100%.

If none are identical, then simply show all as having the specified search similarity percentage, so 90% across the board (& again, only to mean that all the files are dissimilar, & not there there is some "exact" 10% difference between the files in the group).
