Error ring contents are not searchable?

Hi community,

 

I felt in love with error rings in the last couple weeks and decided to use them frequently in my latest project. The bitter surprize came later when I realized that it seems the contents of the ring (code and text) can't be found with a ctrl+f command. This is major setback as now I have to memorize where a certain error code is used instead of just searching for it. Also if somebody inherits or debugs my project he probably will curse me for weeks as I am hiding valueable information from his scope.

 

This makes the rings almost completely useless for me.

 

Any way to make the searchable?

 

thx

As workaround you could add label to the error ring which includes the error code and/or part of the error description. You could also use # to add the label to the bookmarks.

Yeah, I was thinking about this and it seems to be a viable solution on the short run. Generally it seems a bad practice though as I need to enter the error code both inside and outside of the error ring and having the information duplicated but untied is always susceptible to mistakes.
