I think the in-document find and replace is already a feature of one of the popular VS addins (maybe powertools?), but it's nice to see it being integrated into the VS shell itself. It has a few nice, new features as well like changing scope from within that search box rather than opening the full find/replace dialog to do so.

Right. I think they've had something like that for some time now. I guess what blows me away is the search capabilities using regular expressions. I think that is new. I can't think of a personal situation where I would need that much power unless working on a huge project but that's an interesting capability or new feature. Have to go back and revisit the VBA days to remember everything.
