How should the editor know, which class a variable belongs to. Python is a 
dynamically typed language. This means, that the type of an object is 
determined at runtime. This is a very big difference to C++ or Java, where a 
scanner can parse the source and determine the type of an object even before 
the code is compiled.

Somebody recommended to make a toolbar with an entry for the search expression 
and a find and find next button. The search should use the flags set last 
time the search dialog was used. How about that?

That is in. Just select the backwards checkbox and select Find Again (or press 
F3).
