Search for object problem in LV 2013

[Les__Bartel]

Search does not find objects in lvlib. 13.0.1 and 13.0.1f2, Windows 7.

First try:

Open the search dialog

Select 'Objects' radio button

Select my project as 'Application Instance:"

Click 'Select Object' button and browse to functions/file io/config file VIs/Open Config Data.vi

Search Scope is 'All VIs...'

Uncheck 'Ignore VIs in vi.lib'

Click 'Find'

Results list is empty.

At least one vi with the search target was already open.

Second try:

Open a VI with the above referenced VI

right click 'Open Config Data.vi'

select 'Find all Instances'

Results list shows all instances across several files

Observation:

Using my first search method, the name of the vi is 'Open Config Data.vi'

Using the second search method, the name of the vi is 'NI_LVConfig.lvlib:Open Config data.vi' - note full path

Am I doing something wrong with my first search method?

Hello Les__Bartel

Your question: Am I doing something wrong with my first search method?

You could try:

-Open the search dialog

-Select 'Objects' radio button

-Select my project as 'Application Instance:"

-Click 'Select Object' button and browse to objects in vi.lib>>select NI_LVConfig.lvlib:Open Config Data.vi

-Search Scope is 'All VIs...'

-Uncheck 'Ignore VIs in vi.lib'

-Click 'Find'

-Results list shows all instances across several files

Same result as your second try.
