I would like to see a 'Find' menu item in the contextual menu when a

SE2beta lacks both these features. A contextual 'Find' menu item would
easily enable the user to double-click on a handler name, then
navigate straight to it. Useful for following script flow when
debugging. Easier to implement than the 'handler menu'. Needs to be
able to go forward _and_ backward in the script.
OK, three different requests:
1. Contextual menu for "find selection". Script Editor 2 has something
very close to this already: select some text, command-E to use the
selection as the find string, and then command-G to find forward or
command-D to find backward. These commands are standard in Cocoa
applications.
2. Handler menu: This is already planned for the final release.
3. Batch find: Not likely to happen in Script Editor, as that starts to
push into power user territory. If you've got to have it, use Project
Builder.
