One option is to use the ctags utility to create a tags database,
allowing searches like this to be done in a matter of seconds and
many text editors have the ability to search tag files.

A second option would be to integrate the doxygen documentation
utility into some sort of nightly build process. This would
create for you a fully indexable list of the functions and
variables that make up your project.

This list could be navigated using nothing but a standard web
browser, but you could also convert the HTML into something
like a HtmlHelp file. That then makes it possible to search
you index from within your favourite text editors.

Zeus integrates to both of these tools and the searching is
hardly painful. I would suggest that in some cases it might
even be faster than your IDE ;)
