Have you ever looked at a call tree and wondered “is somefunction()” in there?
B453, which you can download now, introduces a new “incremental search” feature to the Information Browser that makes answering questions like that a snap.
To use it hit select where you want to start searching from and then hit the Ctrl-F key while in the IB or click on the
icon.
That brings up a search box on the bottom of the IB:
Enter the text you want to search for and hit Ctrl-F again or the
buttons.
Ctrl-F searches forward. Ctrl-Shift-F searches backwards. All text is searched, not just entity names, but all text including field names like “Call By” and “References”.
The trees expand as you find things:

Searching like this will also be in the Entity Explorer, Architecture Browser and Project Browser within a build or two.
