You might try the search card of my "RevBrowser" available from 
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>, page "Samples and Tools for Development".

 From the information on the website:

"for "Revolution" only: The small, convenient, and fast alternative to 
Rev's "Application Browser" and "Object Browser". Includes a fast script 
searching tool that lists all found scripts lines - with the 
searchstring colored - along with the addresses of the objects. Clicking 
on the object address lets you edit the respective script.

Stack is from 2001 and needs to be updated - there are some bugs - and 
because it is not yet able to access and edit "unplaced" groups - which 
you also cannot do with the above-mentioned Rev-IDE tools."
