Search in VIs of last search

Status: New

I would like to be able to search in the VIs which were in the previous search results.

 

Currently this is not possible. When I do a search in a VI I can select to search in three different scopes:

  • all VIs in Application Instance
  • Selected VIs
  • current VI

 

I see two possibilities for implementing this:

  • as an additional search scope (like "VIs of the previous search result")
  • as a button in the dialog "Select VIs to Search" (poping up when clicking "Select..."), labeled "Add VIs of previous search result"

The second option has the advantage that it is clear defined what happens with the selected VIs when repeating a search.
