Search in project gives "too many search results. Displaying the first 7 results". Why?

Hello all,

I want to have displayed all results. How can I convince LV?

Hi daveTW,

let us find out about the problem. Which LabVIEW Version you currently using?

Do you use in the Project Explorer -> "Edit" -> "Find Project Items" to search? Hotkey is STRG+F.

A Screenshot of your Searchwindow would be helpful.

Hi dennis,

thank you for replying. I'm sorry for being that unspecific.

I am using LV2010 on Windows7 (32 bit), but that problem also occurred on WinXP.

As you assumed, when pressing Ctrl+F in the explorer window, then typing in the Find- Window a common term, like "create", then the dialog like shown below pops up.

Attached is the project file, if this helps.

greets, Dave

Hi dennis,

Ok, before I started this thread I didn't do too much research on this problem, I supposed, there is a quick answer.

After opening another project, this project still came up, so it doesn't seem to be a project- specific problem. So I deleted the LabVIEW.ini (renamed it) and started LabVIEW again. Then the LabVIEW.ini was newly created with default settings. After a search in this project LabVIEW showed all results without complaining.

So, after checking the original LabVIEW.ini (which I was migrating from my earlier LV installations) I found these lines:

FindProjectItems.MaxMRUDepth=0
FindProjectItems.MaxResults=7
FindProjectItems.CaseSensitive=False
FindProjectItems.MatchWholeWord=True
FindProjectItems.RegularExpression=False

The line "FindProjectItems.MaxResults=7" explains the behaviour.

But what did I do to let LV insert this setting?

greets, Dave

Hi Dave,

I'm using LabVIEW 2010 and Win7 (32bit) to get your system configuration.

First I created a new project, create a VI called "create" and duplicated it 1021 times. If I search for it I found it without the message.

Second I open your project and search for "create" and found 50 Items but I don't get this window.

Maybe you should launch the National Instruments Updater to keep your LabVIEW actual. There is also a patch available at ni.com. Please try this two Options first and let me know if its help.

"LabVIEW Development System 2010 - Windows7/Server 2003 R2 (32-bit(/XP/Vista/Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) - 2010 f2 (32-bit) Patch"

Hi Dave,

I'm glad to hear that your problem is solved now. I search for a while about this but don't find any information where you can set this option.
