Craig -

1. Searching for "X"
        In your filter criteria, try this:
      [^a-zA-Z0-9]X[^a-zA-Z0-9]
        to match "X", excluding any character or numeric values
        on either side.  Special characters such as commas, math
        symbols, quotes, etc will be included, "NEXT" or "XTRA"
        would be excluded.  Will that work?

Perhaps I didn't understand?

        fixed: Instead of searching for just a text string,
        make sure the character before and after text string
        compared to is either "a binary operation (like +,=,
        <,...)", "(", ")", " ", or ";"(I suppose the ";" would
        be for free form people).

        For example, if your variable is "X", I would want to
        see all references to that variable, not a string or
        other variables containing "X".  Maybe use this same
        search criteria algorithm for the extract field
        selections (mentioned later).  In other words, I would
        want to see lines like
     "C     Eval    X = X + 1"
     "C     Eval    Result = 'The result is: ' + %Trim(%Char(X))"
        Not lines like
        " * Get the next subscript (why show this line?)"
        "C     Eval    Text = 'Why show this line?
