There are add-ons that allow you to search for occurrences of
identifiers that are of the same type. So you can search for the member
.id of your struct tRecordA and it won't trigger on member .id of struct
tRecordB. 

An editor that understands the language and its constructs can be much
more useful than a general-purpose text tool. Not even regexps can get
there. 

This is not to say that the editor shouldn't be a superb general-purpose
text tool. But understanding the language can add much on top of that.
