I understand the reasoning behind limiting the search results to 150 results, but it would be useful to have the ability to change this as needed.

Allow searches using any combination of AND/OR/NOT and parens. A minus in front of a keyword works for NOT, like Google does.

Frankly very surprised Version 1.0 didn't have this. Doesn't even seem like it would be a feature consideration. If you have a search tool, shouldn't it be expected to search the *entire* SQL Server, not just part of it? I wonder how many people assume it searches jobs, which after all are stored in a system database, and never realize they may be missing some references?

This is in all of your other applcitions, I was a little surprised it wasn't in SQL Search.

For example on a stored procedure, it's time consuming to first click select object in explorer, then right click on the object, then click modify. For a table, same, but clicking design. Plus sometimes if the database sproc isn't expanded yet its slow as the left side menu bounces around expanding first...

After searching we try to copy some text (for example the stored procedure name) in the result panel. This fails with the error: "unsaved documents cannot be cut or copied to the clipboard...." (alert box)

Add "Find Next/Previous" buttons in the Text area, so, it will jump to the next occurrence of the searched term (highlighted) in the text.

At this time it just shows column match, but not the name of the column, making this only partially useful for detail on the column name and type I am searching for.

You cannot open multiple search tabs in SSMS. This might be by design, but the ability to have multiple search tabs open at the same time rather than having to open new SSMS windows would make the product more flexible and allow easier searching into "child" issues found from the first search result.

Search for object that synonym is created for (select name, base_object_name from sys.synonyms - base_object_name)

It could be helpful to go to definition of the selected object directly in a new SSMS window

The ability to search for text in all object and replace them with your other text.

Motivation:
For e.g. Currently I needed to change the size of a certain parameter (varchar(50) to varchar(255) that is used in 90 stored procedures. I had to open up all 90 stored procedures, and then did a search and replace.

Is there any way to make SSMS remember where the SQL Search toolbar is placed? Every time I start SSMS, SQL Search takes up an entire toolbar slot above my other two toolbars. I'd rather have it alongside the others leaving more screen real estate for scripts, etc

To have an option to seach only the object names and when the term matches on object name, do not list the matches on text because it's obvious.

As in SQL Compare, allow us to filter out extraneous objects, e.g., sp_MS% for replication objects I don't care about.

As connections to different Sql Servers are opened and closed, it would good if the dropdown of instances could reflect that. Currently if Search is open and I open a connection to a new instance I have to close Search, make sure I click on something in the new instance in Explorer and then re-open Search.

When I've performed an Impact Analysis, allow me to "hide" an object that is of no interest in the object list, then "export to..." Excel-format, or tab-delimited list, so I can pull the list into my Word or other impact document/checklist.
