Experimental feature for Visible Zorker: search bar in the source pane.

You can search for the names of routines, objects, globals, and constants, as well as the contents of printable string. It's not a full-text search (it only finds where things are declared, not used) but still handy for poking around.

Let me know how it works. Once it's solid I'll deploy it for all the other games.

Part of the ZIL source code for Zork 1. A search box in the top right displays search results for “axe”: the AXE object, the AXE-F routine, and a bunch of game messages that mention the troll’s bloody axe.
