Thanks for your recommendations. These are very useful features to have. However, when you have a webapp with dozens of JS classes (linked via EXTJS framwork) and hundreds of variables in any given runtime position and you have to hunt down a variable, producing the initial part of a variable name like this.fieldInstanceExampleA.fieldInstanceExampleB.fieldInstanceExampleC is not practical. That's why I'm looking for a search feature for the "watch"-panel, but it doesn't seem to exist. In the above example, I want to be able to enter ExampleC in the search box and desire this.fieldInstanceExampleA.fieldInstanceExampleB.fieldInstanceExampleC to pop up/be highlighted.
