This lets you find in a matter of seconds class names, declarations and quickly navigate to its declaration. Another feature is to display a DGML diagram of any css, if your css files heavily leverage hierarchies you can easily get a clear picture of the imbrication. Wildcard search (*, ?) is also supported in order to provide a more flexible search experience.
