Search and Replace

Is there a tried and trusted method to perform a scan and replace on an ISeries 
Project source member that you are editing?

At the moment I seem to have to:
1) click the "Search" button
2) manually change the "*.RPGLE" search pattern to the name of my source member 
3) Change the scope from "Workspace" to "Selected Resources"

It is all a bit longwinded compared to F14 in SEU !

On a more worrying note, I have done mass Searches to Replace code and ended up 
with meaningless junk in the resulting source member. This has happened on 
several occasions and caused me to revert to a previous version of the source 
in order to recover the situation. This is very worrying and causes one to lose 
confidence in the veracity of the IDE.  I haven't noticed a pattern, but it 
seems to be if I click the "Replace All In File" button instead of the "Replace 
All"
