Q: 

Type of window

The CodeRush file search tool "Quick File Navigation" looks pretty similar to a regular "Find" window. What type of window/form is that?

How do we create such windows that stay within the VS IDE (MDI I guess)?

A: 

I believe they are called ToolWindows. WPF Window class has a WindowStyle property which lets you get that look. See images at the end of the link.

As for creating dockable toolwindows that stay within the VS IDE, google is your provider. I found this one which looks like what you need.

But toolwindows can go outside the bounds of the parent form... atleast the VS find-in-files window does.

A: 

Gishu is right and its the same thing in WinForms: Form.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.ToolWindow. I use SandDock to get the Visual Studio IDE dockable environment.
