The problem is, with jQuery specifically, not all functions are declared in the conventional fashion. E.g. trying to find the "height()" method is quite hard with a simple IDE search tool -- look how its defined: http://gist.github.com/291542

It's easy when they're declared as "function name(){}" or "name: function(){}" (in an object) .. or even "name=function(){}" ... but beyond that, it's simply not worth using your IDE's find tool.
