3 months ago Built-in scripts are stored in scene files, which can be text or binary.
Searching directly in those files isn't technically feasible for binary scenes, and for text scenes, it could lead to unrelated parts showing up in search results. Using Replace in Files could even corrupt your scene if you replace parts of the scene that weren't meant to be replaced (e.g. property names, or the file structure itself).
This will need a bespoke implementation that loads built-in scripts from scene files and returns them as search results. Implementing Replace in Files functionality in this might be too difficult to do, so maybe it should be left read-only.

Describe the project you are working on
Multiple learning experiments
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
Replacing a function's or variable's name in all my godot scripts is easy enough with "Replace in files" feature, but this doesn't work with built-in scripts, limiting the speed of the development...
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
Allow for the Find in files and Replace in files features to also search within built-in scripts.
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
It can be done outside godot to a certain degree... with the risk of editing tscn files
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
