Lotus Neophyte

I know that the search feature in Notes is quite good.  It is able to search inside pdf, document and worksheet attachments and Notes Database entries

However, when I am working in Domino Designer, it feels lacking.    This is probably and hopefully due to lack of knowledge. 

One of the things that frustrates me is the ability to search which notes objects are calling a particular form, view or lotusscript function. Currently I click inside a method, press Ctrl+F to activate the search window.  Once in the search window, I make sure that the scope is for all objects and Wrap at start/end is checked.  Click on Find Next to start the search process.

One of the problems with this approach is that I have to go to each notes form/view/lotusscript library and repeat the process. 

Another problem is that it does not seem to be working correctly.  I mean I enter the word HeadCount in the method of one of the views.  After doing my search, it does not find the method containing these key words.  However, I know for a fact that the word HeadCount is found in the ViewSelection Method.  Why is the search not finding this?

Did a google search and found this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ac768e36-be57-4306-966c-5089b0c4d50e&displaylang=en
It's a windows desktop search add-in for Lotus Notes.  It's brief description is  Now easily find Lotus Notes items and search their content.

Has anyone used this?  Is it the answer to my problems?  I will be trying this out soon  in a XP Virtual Machine.  Are there better options?

As easily seen by my blog title, I declare myself to be a Lotus Neophyte, a collaboration and work flow challenged person, a dabbler in web based applications and a fetus in java programming.
So I beg your pardon as I ask the most infantile Lotus questions:

Infantile Question #1:  Why would having the current date (Today's Date) as filter to a notes view cause the view to have refresh issues?  What is the best workaround to lessen/avoid the problem?

Here is the scenario:
  We have an application which records the scheduled  meetings per salesmen in Notes documents.  Our client requested that she has a view that shows only the current date's scheduled meetings per salesman and another view to show the future scheduled meetings per salesman.

The view:
    Salesman
       Company
           Company Category
              Month + Year
                  Date       Purpose of meeting      Time of Meeting         Contact Person               Designation            Address
 
I have been told that this view will be quite slow as the number of document increases since the view will need to be refreshed all the time. Every click of the user will result in a refresh.
