Fritz et al,
Thank you for the information, but even when using Symbol, I still
get lots of spurious matches when I'm searching for a method like '-
(NSString *)name' where lots of classes might implement it. This
whole process is just vastly simpler in other IDEs like IDEA where you
can right click and choose Find Usages (and where it's smart enough to
recognize when a method is part of a protocol and ask if you want to
find usages of the protocol or not).
That's disappointing about the public API. I was going to push
JetBrains to do for Xcode what they have done for VisualStudio with
their Resharper product.

Open the Project Find window.
In the second popup, select Symbol instead of Textual.
Put initWithDelegate (or even a complex selector like
initWithObjects:forKeys:) into the Find: field.
Click the Find button.
Whirr, click. Results.
A regular expression to do the same thing would be insane.
As an aside, is XCode configured to allow for plugin style
augmentation? That is to say, is there an API available that would
allow one to develop extensions to XCode to add features?
No. Many versions ago, the private interface for Project Builder
plugins had been reverse-engineered, but there's nothing public or
current.
Spelling: Xcode, lower-case c.
