Isn't this a place where the refactoring browser stuff helps a lot? Actually knowing that you want to change a variable named foo to wibble? Assuming of course that that is actually what you are wanting.

For example, I just edited a method where I wanted to replace window with windowSpec and later window with systemWindow.  Using Cmd-J wasn't;t an option because the string window occurred as a prefix in may places.  But a Cmd-J that respected word boundaries and only replaced whole words matching the search & replace would have worked nicely and be easy to remember.
