[Cookieculler] Need find function in CookieCuller

I'm using CookieCuller 1.3.0 with Firefox 1.5.0.3 on a Mac running 
Mac OS X 10.2.8.

As far as I can see there is no "find" function in CookieCuller.  It 
desperately needs one, since there can hundreds of cookies in its 
list, and the only way to find cookies for a given website is to look 
through the huge alphabetical list in CookieCuller, which besides 
being tedious makes it easy to miss a cookie if it doesn't start with 
either www.* or the name of the its website.

Much quicker, simpler, and reliable would be a "find" function.

Also, since the FAQ says a cookie protected with CookieCuller will 
still be deleted after its expiry date, is there any harm in simply 
applying in CookieCuller protection to every cookie on the list?  Is 
that in fact a recommended procedure?

Just to let you know, I'm using CookieCuller in an attempt to solve 
an annoying and persistent problem my system seems to have with 
Firefox -- cookies are deleted after a couple weeks if I don't 
revisit a site, no matter how many decades into the future the 
cookie's expiry date is set to.

Oh darn, I just checked, and discovered that CookieCuller hasn't 
helped.  Cookies I deliberately applied CookieCuller protection to a 
couple weeks ago, and which had expiry dates several months to 
several years in the future, are now gone, as usual with this 
problem.  I was hoping CookieCuller would fix it, but no such luck.
