code search bar

Introduction
Search bar in code has been used in many coding and game development applications including Stencyl and  

code search bar is an most important feature in Stencyl for expert developers with code mode in order to check for mistakes in a very long code. For example:  https://stencyl-nator.blogspot.com/p/code-for-object-data.html which is part of the so-called endless scene game mechanics (custom code in part with) https://stencyl-nator.blogspot.com/p/so-called-endless-scene-multi-tileactor.html


In short,the usage of the search bar are
- error checking - to see some typo or something forgotten to change. 
- navigation - the search bar can also act as an elevator for the code along with comments.  

In long, In order to let readers understand, we show some picture as examples. All of the sxample pictures have to do with so-called endless scene in the link above.  Except the one being shown in design mode. 

The picture shows where the search bar is and the serach bar could also be used to navigate through out code - One disadvantage of code mode and free form mode is when the code gets very long and each function could be over a thousand line long. It can also be helped with comments. for the search will include comments. it would be difficult to use the scroll bar on the right to find some part of the very long code. 


The picture above shows error and typo checking process looking for some stuffs the we forgot to change 

In design mode, it has similar functions but you cannot replace one text with another in one click. The picture below shows code search bar in deisgn mode via Preview code.
