Ah ah, so true.
Our brain is biased by the context. I was looking for an identical
behavior to playground, so my context was "how does playground implement
do-it?", so let's take a look. Then I hit a wall of abstractions and
duplication, unseen in Squeak, in that specific context.
I am pretty sure if I was looking at executing code, in another context,
for example some code fetched from a file, I will have search for
keyword as your described it.
That's why, often, when your brain hit a wall and is stuck, you need to
take a night break to escape the context you were stuck on.
Nevertheless, my point regarding the walls of complexity in Pharo
remains true.

Sometimes things are hard to find. Not everything can be easy. It also depends
on what you already know, what your field of expertise is, what your
experiences are.
What I meant is: doing a couple of searches for class or selector names is
always the first step.
I guess you are more a UI person and started by disassembling something.*That*
is harder.
