first of all, congratulatiooons
It's only a suggestion...but I think that this option will be very useful
"Edit->Find needs a COUNT option"

+1 voice for a function.

But now you can do it easily with such a trick:
instead of "Find" use "Find and Replace" with "Find" and "Replace" fields identical
eg. Find = %ItemToFind% and Replace = %ItemToFind%
so doing this you'll get a number (count) of searched %ItemToFind% in your file =)

Or you can write a script for the Scripts plugin.

Very clever, the S&R trick. It will save a lot of editor switching.
