1- The 'Find' edit ctrl in the navigator bar doesn't accept underscores ('_'). This is a serious problem, especially when pasting in from the editor window but even when typing this is bad. Enter 'PLATFORM_X11'and get no hits for instance.

2- A frequent usage pattern when querying things is:
- select word (double click, or SHIFT+CTRL+CURSOR_KEYS), CTRL-C, CTRL-Q, CTRL-V.
And while this works very well it would be nice to eliminate the copy/paste. Perhaps with a new keyboard shortcut but even better would be detecting whether a single id (in CParser terminology) is selected and auto-querying the selection on CTRL-Q. Is this possible?

Borland C++ Builder had very nice feature. When you press Control key and drag mouse through any word in your code, mouse cursor becomes a hand and the word itself becomes a hyperlink. Clicking this hyperlink led to declaration/definition of this token. This was extremely comfortable feature.
I think that little addition to it - smtf. like Alt + clicking token - should open TheIDE Help with search with this word.
IMO the main problem about Help is that it consists of large pages and has no navigation through found items on the help page.

This would be... well... VERY useful and time-saving features!

Also I`d like to add to mrjt`s request concerning TheIDE Help search. I propose having 2 buttons next to the Help search text field: "<" and ">". Pushing these buttons should scroll user to the position that prev/next found token (possible colouring it as selected) is as much closer to center of the screen as possible.

Superb! I've just built the SVN version and it's lovely. My only issue is that there seems to be a slight lag on typing in the Query box, but that's definitely a price worth paying for the improved functionality.

Well, I am out of wits how to optimize that one more...

In reality, it has to scan the whole symbol database for matches. That is, for example, about 30000 symbol entries for theide sources...
