Lightbulb Better way to indicate/stop searches still in progress

To stop a search in progress, you click the "Stop" button in the lower left corner of the screen. Unfortunately, this button is in a different frame from the search tabs and results. There's no visual association to which search you are terminating when you press the button.

My idea is to replace the "X" icon on the search tab with a different icon indicating the search is still ongoing. This icon, when clicked, would terminate the search, and be replaced with the current "X" icon. This icon would now have the functionality that it currently has.

The "search in progress" icon could be something like a smaller version of the spinning lime slice from the upper right hand corner of the window.

Reactions?
