You can shut this off, and in fact by default it asks you each time if
you do or don't want it to suck down the related files.  If it didn't
prompt you that feature got turned off somehow.

If DW actually changed any of your code, then there's a setting in
there you should check as well.  You can tell DW to not touch any code
ever--I don't ever use the design view but I work with a designer who
frequently opens my CF files in design view and I've never seen it
touch a line of my code.

I'd definitely request the find feature as an enhancement if it's that
important to you--it might be something they could add quite easily
but just haven't had a request for it.  Personally I use DW for both
CF and PHP with very few complaints, but everyone has different pain
points so it's good there are so many IDEs out there.  None are
perfect but for my style of doing things (and because I'm on the Mac
most of the time ...), I think DW comes darn close.  I'm using
CFEclipse more and more, and once they have the file browser/FTP stuff
100% done I will likely switch.  It's a Java program so it'll run
anywhere and has excellent support for both CF and Java.  DW really,
really sucks for Java.
