Please see John's and Honza's comments. They already explain what's 
currently possible and point to issue 
3575<http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=3575>, 
which is asking for a side panel search feature.
Inspecting 'this' doesn't give you local variables. Though you can click on 
an object of the current call stack frame inside the *Watch* side 
panel<https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Watch_Side_Panel>to search through 
it's properties inside the 
*DOM* panel <https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/DOM_Panel>.
