i have tired both version of regedit & regedit+, both of 'em still haven't able to search DWORD data. (well, the orginal regedit which came from win98SE cabs, also can't do it anyway).
for example i want to seach dword which value of '1252' (decimal), search result only find keys / value names / string values which has a substring of '1252' but the result has never pointed to dword value of 1252 (hex:4e3).
Regedit search is really primitive and slow. I never use it.
What I do:
I backup the entire registry to a .REG file:
run Regedit -> highlight "My Computer" [root] -> click on "Registry" from menu -> select "Export Registry File..." -> type whatever file name in the "File name" field -> browse to the drive + folder you wish -> click the Save button.
Then search this REG file [plain text] using a free(ware) Notepad replacement:

Notepad cannot open files > 64 KB, and will eventually redirect such files to open in Wordpad.
Never use any word processors like Wordpad, MS Word [MS Office], AbiWord, OpenOffice or similar to edit REG files.
Always use plain text/ASCII editors like Notepad replacements: PFE32, Credit, Win32pad, Metapad, Notepad++, ConTEXT, etc:
