Add Project or Folder to Search Scope in Find window

[Ray.R]

Now that I program using LVOOP, I often look for objects or text that exists within a VI that is located inside a dynamically called VI.  SInce it is not in memory, Application Instance, or Selected VI's, the Find (search) feature is unable to find all instances of the object or text that I am looking for. 

At the moment, the only way to find such object or text is to open all dynamically called VI's (and sub-vis) and hope that you did not miss one. 

The LabVIEW find feature should allow the user to select whether you want to search within the project or within all the folders inside the selected folder.  If you select "Project", the search would look inside every VI located in the project.  If you select "folder", a path browser would open up to select the base directory that you want the search to look within.

Development tools for text-based languages have offered this feature for years.

I like this concept. I visited your blog for the first time and just been your fan. Keep posting as I am gonna come to read it everyday!!

Much needed indeed. I would add the (declined as a standalone) suggestion of having a virtual folder of the project as scope

For the record, I'd also add "all VIs in class/library" too.
