I have some custom properties on my top-level Perspective session, and the find/replace tool doesn’t seem to search them. Specifically, one of my session properties is bound to a named SQL query, but searching for the query name doesn’t return a match for the property.

No Session Properties are not an area that allows for Find/Replace.

These are the only contexts/areas which allow for Find/Replace from within the Designer:

Can I submit a feature request that the session properties be added to find/replace? 🙂
