You mean something like a "find all" that spits out a list of
occurrences, rather than a find first / find next mode of operation?

Sure - albeit not with regedit, but a lesser known command-line tool,
`reg.exe`.

For instance, to search for anything in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" containing
"v3.7-beta", open a command prompt and run:

    reg.exe HKLM /s /f "v3.7-beta"

then go and make yourself a fresh cup of your favourite hot beverage.
