I wanted to echo Cameron's email.. I experienced similar. I wanted to also share another alternative that I have switched to: intellij IDEA. Multi-language support, but understands CF. Has a fast extended find and the ability to export search results. Also understands source control out of the box. It is commercial with a price tag, but well worth it. Trial dl at: www.jetbrains.com/idea
