Gerardo,

There is freeware called Macaw available from NCBI, which allows you to do 
multiple nucleotide or amino acid sequence alignments. Point your browser to 

http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/academic/biology/molbio/ncbi/macaw/


It won't do searches within sequences, but then again any wordprocessor could 
do that for you.

Hope this helps,


John
