Is there a way to search for methods by return type, as well as
parameter types? If so, how? and are there preferences that must be
set to enable this?

If not, I'll make a feature request (if not made already ...)

Yes. You can search using the following pattern (assuming that X is the
return type, and Y and Z are the paramter types):
"*(Y, Z) X"

Doh! Merci: I had tried

X *(Y, Z)

which makes more sense (to me, at least :-), since that's the order in
which one declares a method. I wonder why <whoever> decided to require
return-type-last?

Maybe because searching with a given return type is less used...

I bet that if it was the opposite, people would complain as well :-)

Could you give an example of what you're looking for ?
