Since the modifier is shift, the likelihood of the user seeing the button label change when entering a find string is something I'd give rather good odds, thus I do not see that big a problem with having the feature ³hidden².
I think shift is a fine discoverable key in a find dialog. Once people understand that option discovers options in menus, this is a very easy and comfortable habit: it is the best solution I know of. The alternatives are more items (impossible to use), or no discoverability at all (yuck).
I think if Textmate started its help on launch by default, and also gave start-up tips enabled by default users would learn more, more quickly.
The screen casts and manuals are going to make a massive help!

Ctrl-S. A massive nice feature, still undiscoverable by any means :-(
It absolutely needs to be in the Find menu. (and in help, under find and under incremental).
Hey Allen: hope you are having a ball! Sooo wish I was skiing right now: nothing beats downhill racing.
