This feels like a "me too," this late in the game, but I should point  
out that Navigator allows you to hilite any set of objects (or just  
one) and then search for objects with scripts that contain whatever  
text you like. Navigator bookmarks the found results, letting you  
then work with the objects you found.

You can also search all the objects contained within the objects you  
select. So you can hilite a stack, search enclosed, and find all the  
objects anywhere in the stack with the word "send" in their script.

Further, you can search by applying a test. When doing this,  
Navigator supplies the long id of each object in a variable "tID."  
So, suppose you wanted to find all buttons in a stack with a height  
other than 12. You could use this:

word 1 of the long id of tID is "button" and the height of tID is not 12

Navigator would search all the objects in the stack, finding only  
objects where the above is true, and bookmark them.

The latest update of Navigator has many new features. The web site  
hasn't been updated yet, but you can read about it in the About Box.  
Navigator 3.0b1 is available at:
