In the regular find window, there's that arrow button you can click to get a multi line text field where to enter your search query, but I don't see it when I do a search in whole project, which is kind of a pain when looking for lengthy pieces of code...
Did I miss something? Thanks!

Do you know command-E? It places the selection on the find clipboard. 99% of the time, I want to find something which is already in my source, and never actually type it in the find dialog text fields.

No, the grow and shrink arrow in the normal find dialog was a recent addition that I did to test the concept. Likely it will spread to the find in project (or they will be merged somehow).

Interesting. Is there any functional difference between Command-E + Command-F and Command-C + Command-F + Command-V? The latter seems so simple that I was surprised to see a built-in command that replicates it only to save one keystroke...

Often you would do: cmd-C, cmd-F, cmd-V, return. Instead you can do cmd-E, cmd-G. So you save 2 key strokes, you do not lose the contents of your clipboard _and_ you do not need to use cmd-G in the same application.
For example if Console, Terminal, Mail, Safari or similar have something you want to search for in your sources, press cmd-E in that application, and cmd-G in TM vice versa. It also works nicely with Quicksilver’s queries, in that the default text there is what’s on the shared find clipboard.
But in the simple case, it is functionally equivalent to pasting the selection in the find dialog.

Not to mention that this way the find panel will not come up, which keeps clutter down.
