Can I search all VIs in memory and ignore password-protected VIs?

Every time I do a LabVIEW search for text, I get a dialog box saying this:

 

"Error Code Database.vi is password-protected. Enter the password and click 'Verify' to search this VI's block diagram."

 

So I have to click various buttons and boxes to make that box stop nagging me.

 

I want to never see that dialog box again in my entire life. How can I make it never appear, short of moving over to some non-LabVIEW language?

LabVIEW 2010 has the option to 'ignore password protected VIs'  during a search.

What's your version?

I went to Tools >> Options >> Search, then looked all over Tools >> Options, and cannot find this.

 

Where is that trick hiding?

Upon the first hit of password protected VI.

Here's a screenshot (in LabVIEW 2010):

That tip was definitely helpful, but I'd like to never see that dialog box again rather every time I do a LabVIEW search.

 

The VI causing the problem is "Error Code Database.vi", so I can't really get rid of it.

Selecting that worked for me.  Let me know how that works for you.
