If you are using geany, there is already functionality to jump to the definition of the variable/function. With the right key via the context menu, or by pressing ctrl+t (after selecting the item) you can jump to the definition.

Note: The only limitation is that the file that contains the definition must already be open in geany, otherwise it will not work.

Example:

Define variable:

define variable

Guake go to definition.

enter image description here

This work for type definition and functions; if you have to look for an instance of a variable within the document or project, you have to look for it as text.
