For the stated purpose, I have been using Chrome's Developer Tools. I kinda enjoy using the suite as it allows me to easily capture and view HTTP responses (Under "Network" tool -> "Response" tab). Having that said, it lacks a feature that I need - the ability to search within a response document. To deal with this shortcoming, I would save the response document in a file and open it up in an editor, with which I perform my search. This solution is rather time-wasting. Is there a better solution available out there?

Try to use Fiddler. It has great functionality for capturing all kind of web requests. Also it has the ability to search within a response document

If you only need to expose the requests that your browser chrome is managing, you can use a very powerful tool build in Chrome, you can access it from here:

chrome://net-internals/#events

It records DNS, Proxy, Cache, Extensions and all the Events, including URL_REQUEST, opened sockets, ...
