IDE: find a string in a field

[Ralph DiMola]

On Windows if any other window except for the script editor is in focus then
a ctrl F will bring up the other search window. This actually is a pain
sometimes when testing an app. One must always click into the script editor
before doing a code search.

Thanks all.

I would never have found this - I don't think I've closed the Script Editor
since 2004 :-)
