Cmd-option-F with CW bindings. :)

You are right that it does the things Larry mentioned. I believe it can
do everything CW's can, except CW's ability to search 'code only' or
'comments only' which I've found very useful, but only rarely. Xcode's
ability to use a regex to filter files is nice.
But it's UI could stand improvement, but we've discussed this already:

Really? CW searches my entire project before Xcode finishes its
'preparing to find' phase, during which time it SPODs. My bug was
marked dupe, so I'm not alone.
