This idea is for any editor-component based program;
When doing searches through code, the editor should provide you a dropdown or selector in the find bar allowing you to: - Search entire file - Search only in comments - Search only active code This way, if you comment-out large swaths of code, you don't pull them up in needless results while working. An extension of this may recycle highlighting code for additional search-options; the dropdown may provide you the options to search specifically for... - Declarations - Function calls - Variables - Strings - Markups - Etc... ... If you are searching in the appropriate file type.
Reformed lurker.
