We use NoteTab Pro for our EAD work at Brown University, and it includes a find/replace feature, plus the "undo/redo" arrows, definitely worth the $20 for "NoteTab Pro" versus the free NoteTab in my opinion.

I prefer to use a freeware program called NoteTab light, although
NoteTab Pro is worth the small fee to upgrade. www.notetab.com . I was
introduced to it when I attended Daniel Pitti's EAD Publishing class at
Rare Book School . The only feature I miss compared to X-Metal is the
search and replace function, therefore I keep an old copy of X-Metal 3.0
on hand.
