The IDE contains a very powerful Find & Replace stack within it:

revSearch.

In the past I used it to modify about 5,000 lines of script in about 2,000 objects and it managed that is about 10 minutes!

HOWEVER it is provided with ridiculously small fields.

It also seems incapable of scripting to increase the width of the stack.

What I also fail to understand is that if I swap the "revSearch.rev" stack inwith the IDE for my hacked "revSearch.rev" stack from May 2022 what I STILL get is the unhacked version.

My version should look like this:

For binary UI stacks revSearch is just about the only way to find a specific thing in a a bunch of stacks, short of writing your own custom script for it.

I agree on the tiny fields, pixel density of computer screens these days is making everything appear smaller (although much more crisply), and my eyes are getting too old for that.
Here's a suggestion for possible easy solution, try this line of script in the messageBox: That should make your stack larger by 50% and therefore easier to read. I think Scale Factor should probably be a revPreferences setting for all of the IDE stacks, allowing users to adjust the size of each of the IDE stacks to suite the hardware/OS that it's running on.

Certainly we could make it so it can be expanded horizontally so you can see more of the lines of results.
