Barry found this and showed me some time ago. I had forgot about it and stumbled across it today. I keep forgetting it's there. I'm hoping by Blogging it I will remember.
When you are editing code in Visual Studio hit CTRL-I. You will see this little icon appear, 
this is Incremental Search.
Once in this mode you can just start typing and it will find text that matches what you are typing as you type.
If you have typed the whole word but search has not found the one you want, hit F3 to jump to the next occurrence.
