Request: find syntax highlight elements (keyword, comment, string, number, custom, etc.)

I would like to have the following functionality added to the Find & Replace dialog:

An option to search for the next syntax highlighted element: Keywords, comment, strings, numbers, symbols, custom (custom defined keywords), linefeed/carriage return, other special characters (tab, , etc., each possible to select/deselect via checkboxes.

Especially strings and numbers I would very much appreciate to have an explicit possibility to search for. I am aware, that I can construct a regular expression to do the trick for me, but I use them too seldomly, so I can never remember the syntax.
