search current editor contents across tabs? (like Notepad++ find-in-all-opened-docs)
Often I'll need to switch to a different tab (or make a new one) and then I'm stuck with trying to dig around to find the other one I'm looking for. "Ok, I'm trying to go back to the tab that was querying against the FooBarStatuses - which was that?"
Notepad++ solves this with "Find All in All Opened Documents" which allows searching across the editor tabs.
The only workaround (AFAICT) in current LINQPad is to save all queries to files under My queries, but even then doing a search after includes files that aren't currently open.
I realize getting to the right point within the editor when selecting the matching result may be difficult, but even just listing the tabs that match a given string/regex search would be a *huge* help for me.
Thanks!

I've found that I'm using
#loadmore recently and so wish for search through related queries. My ideal would have two extra options in the drop down: "Open Documents" and "Related (via #load)", but just open documents would certainly solve the problem.

This feature is available in LINQPad 9. Alt+W (or Control-Command-W on macOS), and check "Search inside".

Ah, very nice thank you!
One tiny quirk is that I notice the dialog has to have some part of it over the editor pain for scrolling to work. My first go was to dock LINQPad to the right and then move the dialog to the left.
I hadn't spotted this before. Would it make sense to add it under Edit / Find (in addition to View / List)?

Yes - it makes sense to add another item to the Edit/Find menu.
