I dislike the idea of making the mouse cursor integral to a function  
of a text editor, so here's how you could approximate the behaviour  
via the keyboard (with menu path parenthesized):

1. With the caret inside or bordering the target word, press Control +  
W  (Edit > Select > Word). Alternately, double-click the word itself.

2. Command + E  (Edit > Find > Use Selection for Find)

3. Command + G  (Edit > Find > Find Next)

Your selection will now jump to each instance of the desired word on  
each subsequent Command + G. It's not as whizbang as Aptana, but I  
often feel IDEs do a lot more than necessary for certain tasks.

Hope this helps, and welcome back to the fold. ;)
