Are there any good Find and Replace scripts for Illustrator?

I didn’t expect to need Find and Replace in Illustrator.
I tried the Find and Replace option under the Edit menu, but found it wasn’t very user-friendly.
The main issue is that the layout gets locked when using it.
It also lacks regular expression support and a history feature.

Does anyone have any better suggestions?
Thanks.

Where am I? What's going on?
I was definitely posting in the Illustrator forum.
It just felt different when I submitted it, but I didn't pay much attention. I was about to repost, but it seems I'm still not in the Illustrator section.
