Leveraging Studio's "potential duplicates" option as a TM cleanup feature

The TM management plugins on the appstore are good for cleaning up TMs, but I feel like the "Search for potential duplicates" feature already built into Studio would be a great asset for spotting repeated entries that are not exact duplicates.

Right now, the fact that this search returns a single result (wasting a lot of UI space) is not productive or intuitive.

The only way to navigate these search results also seems to be up there in the ribbon, which may be a little out of place for most languages, and especially ineffective if you edit or remove an entry in the list below, and forced to go up and click "next" again.

I have been made aware that some work is being done in the TM edit view for 2019, and the way I see it, these 3 changes would turn this often unused option into a valuable TM-cleanup asset:

- adding a total number of results somewhere;
- returning several results per page (separated somehow);
- moving the "next page" button somewhere that is more accessible.

Thank you.
