Well, we have find, we have advanced find. However, perhaps you need to modify certain things that you use find to uh.. find, but you don't have a set pattern. Why not have an option under "advanced find/replace" to highlight pattern matches in bold, that way you can see what you need to modify simply by scrolling through your document. I think this would be handy.
Along the sames lines, the ability to "highlight" (select text and hit ctrl+B to have it bolded until you unhighlight it, or reopen the environment. I think these would both be handy additions, and coding in something to bold a font shouldn't be too awfully hard to add! Thanks for the consideration.

Another idea is to have multi-line find and replace capability. This is a coder's dream, say they have a certain if statement that appears numerous times in different procs. They could find and replace and add an else statement afterwards, or any other batch task that takes tedious effort.

Pardon my tangent, but it could be also be nice if the screen didn't shift when I perform a Find/Replace All. Sometimes I'm in a proc or checking a variable initiation and looking for everything that refers to it. Sure, I get my list on the bottom, but the code I'm actually editing gets shifted.
