Object value in search results

[Alexander_Sobolev]

Problem and Idea:

When searching for an object I usually need not only the object itself, but also it's value. Ability to see object value in the search results table will be great:

Examples:

I have multiple property nodes for the front panel object, I search for it. But I need to know only where do I hide control - have to double click through all results. Search results window, returning visible, disabled, etc will save plenty of time.

Have you ever asked yourself "Where do I add this _calculate_ to the state machine queue? I am sure it was in one of these 20+ case or event frames" 

Have more examples? Add and Kudo!

The find dialog has a radio button on the top which allows you to search for text. This includes things like property nodes and bundles. Note that the dialog also has additional options for refining the search.

There's also a shortcut - select text in a BD or FP and hit Ctrl+F and you're already set to search for that text.

tst, thanks, search the text is a good tool, but it does not solve the problem: It will let me find all elements, which I make Visible (plenty of),

Search for an object gives me all Properties for the current object (also plenty of).

The idea is to join results.

Text tool search almost has this functionality: it says the type of the object: type definition, or case structure, or property node. But nothing about the object itself.

Well, there are already some ideas for something like that:

There are probably some others as well.
