Comment (by leavengood):
While this is probably a pretty reasonable enhancement request, I would
like to recommend the tool "ack" for searching through source code:

The standalone version is very easy to install into Haiku by just
downloading and copying it to ~/config/bin, then making it executable:

In fact another way to improve TextSearch would just be to use ack, or
have it as an option.
