[Lazarus] Code Browser

Lazarus 1.3 shows the codebrowser when I hit F1 on an unknown
(incomplete...) identifier. That's a nice feature, but searching in the
browser can become tedious.
When a unit is missing from a uses list, searching in the project files
seems not to be the right choice, instead it seems to be required to
search the FCL as well(?) - what takes a considerable time.
Unfortunately the browser restarts the search as soon as I try to change
the search string, before I finish typing :-(
Suggestions:
1. Wait until the user presses "Rescan", optionally add an according
(Auto Rescan) checkbox.
2. Add an Stop/Cancel button, that allows to stop the search (not
closing the browser window!).
3. Add F1 and/or Help button for help on using the Code Browser.
