Enhancement for All Objects Search

[zakko]

It would be quite convenient, if I trigger a search throughout all objects in the objects window, that the folders, where a match is found autmatically are displayed open to show each search result in its respective folder (package, table, procedure, etc.).

Currently there is barely a feedback if search is done, if you have not opened the correct (=containing a matching result) folder before.

Another search related improvement would be to get feedback after a finished search within a package (via Ctrl+F).

If it's a large package, where search might take a while, you do not have a clue, if search is still ongoing or did end without a result (or I didn't manage where to look at yet...).

So, it would be great to get any kind of progress indicator and a message like "There were no results found for your seach" for a finished search with no findings.

If you know sublimeText and it's CTRL+P, then it's easy to tell what would be the best search enhancement.

If you check the checkbox 'Wrap' in the Finds&Replace dialog, you get the message: "Search text 'xyz' not found, continue search from the beginning of the text?"

This is an indication that you reached the end of the file and there are no more hits.

Claus Pedersen, thanks for your suggestion, but I think this is not sufficient for a mature search solution in terms of user experience.

Additionally I just re-checked the Ctrl+F behavior in v14.0.1.1965, where the search prompt just closes when hitting "Search" (with "Wrap" checked) in case it didn't find any results (I assume).

This feels quite odd, because there is no feedback at all and it also could be a crashed search regarding the immediatly closing prompt - you just don't know.
