I use search all the time. But mostly because I'm using languages where 
the tool support is pretty bad (Ruby, D). But when using (Objective-)C, 
C++ with Xcode, for some of the tasks there is a proper tool and I 
prefer to use that.

I use multiple tools to accomplish my tasks. Just because a particular 
tool cannot handle a given task, that doesn't mean I stop using it 
completely when it's useful for other tasks.

I've manually added a couple of includes when needed. It's a suboptimal 
solution, but I think it would be a lot more work to make it a "proper" 
Xcode project.

Understandable, hence the "almost".

Thank you very much for that. I am trying to contribute, when I have the 
time.
