How to use Ctrl+F functionality in the Workspace editor?

I have a large structure which I am viewing in the workspace with hundreds of fields. I need to search for a specific token "runner" in the fields, but obviously I can't read through it manually. Why can't I ctrl+F in the workspace? "whos" won't work because it only looks at the variable names. I need to parse the contents of the fields too. What should I do?

If you need to search through the field names, then the fieldnames function should help.
Can you not do it in code instead, using strcmp on whichever field you expect "runner" to appear in?
Even if Ctrl+F did work in the Workspace editor you could only really expect it to find a variable named "runner", not search inside objects, structs and whatever else is in the workspace, to any depth, and find results.

OK I just used "contains" and logical indexing in the code itself and that was pretty easy. Not as easy as ctrl+F obviously, but got the job done.
