One of the most oft-used and overlooked tool that developers use is the search function. Whether it be a simple ctrl-f or complex search modals, developers often use the search function to quickly find and edit coding constructs.

Some common complaints of search functions within IDEs such as Visual Studio is that they are slow, can't find code in the right places, and has user-unfriendly UI (the VS search just jumps to the next search, which could be anywhere, without giving any warning)
