Ever tried using e2fstune? Not very intuitive, is it? Then again, how 
often do you even need to touch it?

1. The registry editor is perfectly capable of dumping chunks of the 
registry as text. It also has a search function. (Admittedly it's not 
very scriptable.)

2. You can write your own application to access the registry. Hell, it's 
probably quite easy to throw something together in VB to do a quick 
search or two...
