You will notice that there are two columns in the Script Editor dictionary for a given application. The column on the left has all the classes and commands for the given application, while the column on the right has the definitions of each of the classes and commands listed in the left column. The Make New Sticky Note service only works with the column on the right. So here's a way to view the Script Editor dictionary using Sticky notes.
First, go to the left column and do select all such as Command-A. Second, go to the right column and do the select all command again. Make sure that the right column is highlighted. Next go to the menu bar in Script Editor and click Services -> Make New Sticky Note (or hit Shift-Command-Y).
A Sticky note will pop up with the entire Script Editor dictionary for that application with all the formating and coloring of the text preserved so you will be able to view it with its format unchanged. You can float and translucent the window similar to the hint above. I prefer to use the Find command on the entire document in this way because it is easier. When you're done, just simply close the sticky note.
[robg adds: The one downside to this method is that there are no scrollbars in Sticky notes. You could also use a BBEdit or TextEdit service to do something similar, but you'll lose all the formatting in the process.]
