Hi,
the Find in browser seams not to work as expected any more.
If I open the context menu to the project browser, there no longer is the Find in browser Menu Item.
If I select the menu button form the toolbar of the project browser ther is the Find in browser Menu Item.
But clicking it opens the Find In Project tab, not the known dialog from previous versions!
I am missing this functionality badly, sine it was a very convenient way to search for a element/diagram/... in the project browser.
Is this functionality hidden some where else? If yes, please let me know.
Best Regards
Rainer

Maybe should log as a bug in the official site.
Because in the help they have still mentioned definition for Find in Projects Browser
Find in Project Browser (https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/model_navigation/project_browser_toolbar.html)

Use 'Alt' + G for now :)

And Shift-Alt-G for diagrams.

Hello All,
thanks for the replys :)
Alt+G & Shift+Alt+G is not what I need.
I need a fast way to locate any kind of element in the Project Browser by its name and/or sub string contained in the name.
This can be a Class, a Diagram or anything else ;)
Best Regards

Try the Extended Search in Ctrl-F.

Better, but it still no replacement for the text search in Project Browser.

Yes, just the way to work with EA: via bypasses. I'm still on V12. Sparx has the unfortunate tendency to make things worse with each release after they were so vivid in the beginning. Still hoping for better times to come :-/

The find in project browser command was removed.
My experience is that because it relies on the items being added to the tree the performance is usually unacceptable on a non-trivial model, that and I tend to know if I'm searching for a diagram, element, attribute or operation in advance.
-
Sorry for beeing direct, but I believe this is an excuse! Why if not so it the menu Item "Find in Browser" still available under the in the browser toolbar Menu Icon?
I would very much regret if this functionality really is removed :(

"Find in all diagrams" has not ben removed has it?
I do agree with sparks on this one. The project browser search was really awkward and I always tried to steer my users away from it. I'm not sad to see it go.
What EA is missing though is an alternative "quick search" method. That is why I developed my quick search in the EA Navigator.
When compared to other options to find something in EA the EA Navigator is many times faster.

Yes it has been removed. Try right clicking in the browser on the element and its not there anymore.
However if you right click on an element in a diagram the function is still there so you are kind of right.

I just did, and I found it at Properties | Find in all Diagram (Ctrl-U

Uh! your right they've moved it. Well done finding that. Pity its not put in an intuitive place.
I'll shut up now and remove that earlier post.

It wouldn't be a new version if they didn't shuffle everything around would it :-X
Feels just like easter ;D

Yes, every single time it creates a PITA for the users/customers.

This hide and seek started with V5 or so (when the advert-guys took over). Ever since then each version change brought some of those nuisances (more more than less). People complained each time. Sparx consistently (hear, hear!) ignored those calls. What a sad world.

Thank you for brightening my day. Every time I see a comment like this it makes me laugh.

I don't know if you mean that ironically, but I remember well when the "new web site" was launched and things started to get worse. That's just my observation. It might well be that just the whole company went crazy (virus? aliens?) but Mad Men (never seen it, but catches my imagination the right way) was the most obvious explanation for what seemed to happen.

It seems bizarre to me that "Find in All Diagrams" is not right next to "Locate in Current Diagram" the way it used to be. Put it back!

I think you need to take a holiday to Aussie and experience what its like. The Sparxians are over 120km from the only spot of real culture in their entire state (and one of very few in the entire nation). It's full of sheep, snakes, and poisonous spiders. Where as a mad man will be wearing a fitted suit, driving a coupe, and drinking martinis, they're probably all in overly tight stubbies, driving old utes, and drinking a beer than manages to be even worse than Grolsch.

We have never to my knowledge had a sheep in the office. We've had a couple of Redback spiders though, and one of the guys downstairs claims they saw a snake disappear into the skirting board near Roy's desk but I reckon it was more likely a Blue-tongue Lizard. You're right about the utes. I don't know what "tight stubbies" are but they sound like a 70s fashion so probably only found in Sydney.
