Secrets of the filter command?

I believe the "ss" was a script handler in the Home stack that stood for
"search script"

Rev has a much-much better tool for this, as it does more than just scripts,
and includes the power of regEx,
builds a list of the hits

To use this, do cmd-F/cntrl-F or in the Edit menu "Find and Replace..."

Don't for get to explore the drop down menu that let's you set the scope of
your search.

PS  - never heard it called 'snake'.
