The help documentation for ColdFusion builder 2016 lists both of these features. Help > ColdFusion Builder Help > Code Editing in ColdFusion Builder https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using-coldfusion-builder/code-editing-in-coldfusion-builder.html I found another bug stating that the ColdFusion Search feature was removed in CF Builder 3, but I don't know if that was an Adobe employee or not. https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3934105 Further, the documentation still advertises this feature, and the shortcuts still include the CTRL+ALT+F binding for "ColdFusion Search Dialog". The datasheet for CF Builder 3 (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf11/Adobe%20ColdFusion%2011%20Builder%203%20Datasheet.pdf) has a line stating "Develop faster—Make the most of your time with a host of features that help you speed up repetitive tasks, program faster, and search and navigate code more conveniently.". The remove of these two features makes that line untrue (and false advertising). If the ColdFusion Search feature is not restored we cannot buy additional licenses (and may need to refund the one we did buy.) This is at least a critical bug in the documentation.

HI Brian - This feature was removed in ColdFusion Builder 3. Yes, the documentation should have been updated to reflect this, so apologies about that. We will get the documentation fixed. (Comment added from ex-user id:prk)

Is there any replacement feature the offers the same functionality? Do users of CF Builder 2016 have downgrade rights to CF Builder 2? This feature is critical to us, and we bought licenses based on the documentation and advertised features.
