Workspace Browser
The Workspace browser is a graphical interface to the variables stored in
the MATLAB base and function workspaces. You can view, modify, save,
load, and create graphics from workspace data using the browser. Select
View > Workspace to open the browser.
To view function workspaces, you need to be in debug mode.

Tools and Development Environment documentation.
Using the Find and Replace Utility
Find any word or phrase in a group of files using the Find and Replace utility.
Click View > Current Directory, and then click the binoculars icon at the
top of the Current Directory window.
When entering search text, you don’t need to put quotes around a phrase. In
fact, parts of words, like win for windows, will not be found if enclosed in
quotes.
For more information: See Finding and Replacing a String in the MATLAB
Desktop Tools and Development Environment documentation.
