Enhanced "Find"

[K1200LT rider]

I often use "Find" to see where a control/indicator is being written to by using the right-click pop-up menu. That means I have to look through ALL the locals, global references, and property nodes to make sure I find them all. It would be extremely helpful to include an option to look for only writes or only reads, and that option would pick up on all locals, global references and property nodes at once for that control/indicator. That way, a quick glance at the Search Results would be all that is needed to verify a control/indicator is being changed from only one location, etc.

Also, the general option to Find locals and property nodes at the same time would be nice. Maybe even add an "Advanced..." or "Customize..." option to the Find sub-menu where you could quickly configure whatever you want it to do. Even allow the user to make custom "Find" sub-menu options?

I maintain/debug programs that others created, so to learn the programs and find the bad programming practices I use the right-click>>Find a LOT. An enhanced Find would save me a lot of time and effort.

You might be able to do something like this with scripting.
