In your case I myself see nothing that can help then ;-) but I think
newbees would benefit from having all the search and replace commands
under search and replace in the edit menu.
        
I can't believe we still don't have these useful commands in the menu.
But why do you think they should be placed in the Edit menu?
      
That is where the search and replace commands normally are. Why do you
doubt they should be there?
    

The `Grep' menu entry is traditionally in the Tools menu because it reads
an external command like `Compile' and `Shell Command' do.  So perhaps we
should add `rgrep' and `lgrep' to the Tools menu.

A less controversial change is to add `rgrep' and `lgrep' to the
grep mode menu:

I think many emacs users discovery useful command from the menu instead of  searching the release notes.
I suggest to add rgrep,lgrep,grep-find to menu.
