Finding VIs, Objects, and Text

You can search a single VI or multiple VIs for a particular object or string of text. Select Edit»Find to display the Find dialog box. The Find dialog box displays different search options depending on whether you search for objects or text. Use the Find dialog box to search for VIs, functions, controls, indicators, type definitions, global variables, Property Nodes, breakpoints, or text. You can search all the VIs in memory, or you can limit the search to the VI hierarchy, a single VI, front panels, block diagrams, VI histories, or VI documentation.

Note  Select a piece of text or an object before you open the Find dialog box. The Find dialog box appears with the text or object preselected for the search.
