Summary: Search function enhancements

Initial Comment:
Hi, here are some sugestions for the search function. Some of them would be corrections of non-working functions:
- searches would be easier to control if the search would limit itself only to the window where the request is made and it's subpatches. to search for something in the whole patch, just go to the (grand)parent.

- "match whole work only" function doesn't really work. searches with/without this option give the same results

- many people use patch-specific symbols for their variables, like $1, $2, ..., but mostly $0 (which usually it's not possible to know the real value). it should be possible to search for these symbols, and/or for their "real world" representation. E.g., a search for $1-aa or 20-aa (when $1 = 20) should give the same results.
