That sounds like CodeMax, or its descendent CodeSense.

CodeMax was originally a product by Barry Allyn (WinMain software) and it was pretty good.

Unfortunately though for him the market was pretty small and it was difficult to survive as a commercial product. It was open source for a short while and that was when CodeSense came about.

Hmm, it definitely wasn't CodeMax but CodeSense rings a bell, but I'm only about 10% sure it was CodeSense.

I think I would immediately know the name if it were mentioned. It was much faster and better than anything at the time when it came out.
