Find a Lot More at once

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I just feel like 500 search results in the Buzzsaw Find results window is a bit restrictive.

You know how it is, you come in on Monday and do a search for all new documents that you're supposed to be working on, and you get 1,760 results. That's bad enough, but then you have to page through all the results 500 at a time, which is of course a real drag.

John Helfen and Chris Vogelsberg have a fix for you:

OpentheregJust search your Registry (Start/Run/regedit) for the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Pr ojectPoint-7\Preferences\SearchBlockSize

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\ProjectPoint-2007\Preferences\SearchBlockSize

Depending on your client version, you'll have one or both.

If the whole key/DWORD is not present, you get the default block size of 500.  If it is present and has a value greater than zero (0) then the number represents the block size.

If it is <= 0 then the block size is not used at all.  All entries are included in a single block.

Adddword

So set it to zero and you'll get all your results in one window! Thanks John and Chris!
