search within a function

[szabgab]

allow the search to be limited to the current function or enclosing block ?

This isn't implemented yet, but it'd be reasonably simple to implement using the PPI background tools. I am very skeptical whether this would be useful at all. Additionally, the latency of using PPI would likely be prohibitive for something as basic as searching. You can check its effect with the "go to variable declaration" function from the Perl menu.
