I want real S&R in math.

Would be a good starting point. Searching for real formulas would be
better, of course, but that would involve something similar to a
InsetText as 'search' field in the S&R dialog. I am not sure whether
this is possible at all in the current scheme.

[SWP does that and this is really nice.]

[And note that being able to type arbitrary things in dialogs would help
to rectify the math macro situation as well. I.e. 'supported' macros
c/should be defined in the preamble...]

Not just text. Full math.

That's one of the goals of IU...
