Find doesn't see Window title text

[GarryG]

When searching for text in LV 2014 (from 2015 DS1), it appears that the Window Title text isn't picked up by the search. 

To verify this, I created a new VI, and modified only the Window Title (File -> VI Properties -> Window Appearance -> Window Title, Click OK, Save VI).  Then press Ctrl + F, Select Text, type in a word in the Window Title.  Not found

Can someone verify this?  Is there a reason for this behavior?  Is there anything else that I should be aware of that is not "found" in "find"?

It looks like ther is room for a checkbox for "Window Title"  I'm not sure it could be platform independant.   Thoughts?

I verified all text search options (even hidden text) was enabled.  Still no dice.  I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit if it matters.

I don't think you can do that in most programs. If you open up an internet page and ctrl+f, it doesn't look at the tab title. Same thing with like Adobe PDF Viewer.

There is no reason the Window Title text isn't found (other than it isn't searched).  Window title is part of the VI properties.  Especially when recursively searching a VI hierarchy for key words (in my case, I had to update a huge set of legacy code that I inherited from a retired developer) being able to search these fields is important.

It's probably not searched because the field that you type the title in is grayed out by default. Though I do agree that since it is part of the VI properties that it should be included in the search. I verified the behavior using LabVIEW 2015.

In my case, it's not grayed out.  It's being used.  Thank you for verifying it.  I think I'm going to xpost to idea exchange.  Should be searchable.

Please give it some kudos if you think it's worthwhile.  I think searchability of all aspects of the code is important for efficient development on large projects.

I'm going to chime in again to offer some ammo for your IE submission.

Lets look at a vi created from "File>>New...Sub vi with error Handeling."

Notice the "Window title" does not match the Window title bar!  It would be nice to find all VIs that were sourced from that VIT in a given context.  Very nice find!
