Remove the single find widget from top, add one to each tab at the bottom instead. (Turns out you don't usually want to search for the same text in both types of widget.) Also provide sensible no-results text.

I want to remove, rename, or copy a file

To remove or rename a file, you first need to find it in the list of
files under "My work".  This area normally shows only those files that
you have changed since your last commit: if it isn't one of those,
toggle the "Show all files" option at the bottom of the window.

To *remove* a file from version control so that changes to it are no longer tracked:

*1. Select the file you want to remove in the list of files under "My work".*

*2. Click Remove in the toolbar on the left of the window*

The file will be moved to the *"Removed"* list.  This tells Mercurial
to stop tracking the file the next time you commit.  The file itself
is not removed from the disc: you will need to do that using your
system file manager afterwards.

 * Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is *hg remove -Af*

To *rename* or *copy* a file:

*1. Select the file you want to remove in the list of files under "My work".*

*2. Right-click and select "Rename..." or "Copy..." on the context menu*

*3. Enter a new name for the file.*

 * Note: the equivalent Mercurial commands are *hg rename* and *hg copy*
