Use this window to display all instances of the object or text you search for. This window also appears if no instances of the item you search for exist. If LabVIEW finds only one instance of the object you search for, this window does not appear. Instead, LabVIEW highlights the instance where it occurs. Use the keyboard shortcuts listed in the window to find the next <Ctrl-G> or previous <Ctrl-Shift-G> result.
