Details

The top right of the Firebug UI has a search box where I can search within the html source.  The same feature would be helpful in Inspector.

Use case:
Sometimes pages have many divs or many frames.  Looking at the source, you may find an interesting div/frame that you want to highlight, but you can't seem to find where on the page that div/frame lives.  Using the "find" feature in inspector, you can search the html source for it, click on it, and see the highlighted part of the page where the frame/div lives.

(Note, that even with firebug today this is a little bit buggy.  You find the tag, you click on it, but then have to use the firebug menu and click "Inspect Element".  At that point, you are often inspecting a different element since your mouse has now moved.)
