Read about the new "Find and Replace" feature in Visual Studio 2011. From simplicity to using RegEx expressions for complex searching, the new feature appears to be one of the many new enhancements developers are sure to enjoy.

I think the in-document find and replace is already a feature of one of the popular VS addins (maybe powertools?), but it's nice to see it being integrated into the VS shell itself. It has a few nice, new features as well like changing scope from within that search box rather than opening the full find/replace dialog to do so.

Right. I think they've had something like that for some time now. I guess what blows me away is the search capabilities using regular expressions. I think that is new. I can't think of a personal situation where I would need that much power unless working on a huge project but that's an interesting capability or new feature. Have to go back and revisit the VBA days to remember everything.
