Stef,

Thanks for the pointer.  It could use some work though.  One of my
favorite mantras for GUI design is "never punish the user."  I have been
roundly scolded :)  It seems I was confused over what would be used for
search string, and was thus forced to wait a fairly long time for
results having little to do with my intended search.

If I may mix features a little, Dolphin sometimes populates prompters
with either text on the clipboard, and perhaps current line/selected
text, allowing one to accept/cancel an action w/o risk of assuming a
search the user did not intend to do.  Dolphin's
find-methods-containing-text is also MUCH faster than Pharo's.    It
might just be the relative speeds of the two systems (I hope not), lack
of important primitives, or perhaps code that can be greatly improved. 
The latter reminds me of DSDN, which I wrote for Dolphin, getting it to
(reliably) CRAWL through searches across documentation, newsgroup
archives, and the image itself.  Ian Bartholomew promptly made it FLY by
comparison (measured in orders of magnitude, as I recall).  Hopefully a
similar coding style could buy us a big boost here.

Somewhat related, Dolphin's search for references to either the selected
method or to text that can be entered in a prompter.  The non-prompting
search is available from a context menu in the method pane, so it tends
to "just work."

You bring the menu on the method pane
then more....
then source code with ....
it will scan all the methods for the string you pass
