Sometimes when searching, certain subVI's take forever to get through, and they're almost never what I'm interested in searching. A simple checkbox in the VI properties that said something like "Skip this VI when searching" would fix this neatly.
(slight aside, two of the slow ones have a bunch of .NET calls in them)
The only other way I know of to accomplish something similar is to password protect the slow VI's, but I work on a team and that would be a hassle for everyone.
This is related to the following suggestion, which is to allow multiple search windows to be open. If that were implemented, it would at least make the slow searching less painful, by letting me keep previous results. But I often end up wiping out the search results by doing something like 'find all instances', and then I'm back to the slow search.
