Something discovered about 'Search'

    I replaced an early part in an assembly using 'Layout'. Some feature
    references were missing. When I got this component to play nice and regen, I
    noticed a bunch of other compents that were frozen, suspended or suppressed.
    When I got this mess straightened out, I decided to find out if anything
    else, of less obvious regen status, was suppressed/frozen/etc. "Search" has
    a Status page where you can set 'equal to' to 'Frozen', 'Suppressed',
    'Packaged' and more. I tried 'Frozen' and found a bunch more components in a
    Group (which showed itself 'Regenerated' but which contained components
    which were 'Frozen'). The Search utility, when it finds stuff, expands the
    group or whatever to show the hidden components( the Group showed as
    Regenerated but the components hidden inside were Frozen). Search is a
    constantly, remarkably useful tool.

    David, you kick ass. Seriously. I keep thinking I really know Pro/E,
    but you keep surprising me with stuff I didn't know.

    Yeah, I know, there's so much to learn. There's something new every day,
    usually 'cuz somebody asks me a question I can't answer and I have to try
    new things. I am challenged like this constantly, beat up by my peers and am
    forced to try and to teach and to learn. I'm just passing it on, glad if
    it's of more general use.
