Are such random "Find all references" results natural?

  • When I right-click a group "Input Stage OLD" and select "Find all references", I get some strange results:

    It's returning some groups with the word "input" (but not all of them), and random groups about AI. The list is longer than the screenshot.

    I know that there's an "Ambiguous results" clause in the manual about find, but these seem way out there. Is there a way I can name things, to remove such random results from the list?

    (I thought this might be because of a variable plus the word Input, but the AI ones don't back that up.)

  • The editor can't evaluate dynamic expressions. At the moment if you use any kind of dynamic expression to refer to something by name, then the editor can't figure out if it's relevant to your search or not, and so lists it as an ambiguous result.

  • Oh I see, so any group name with a variable would be returned?

    Is it possible to have a little tickbox at the top to show/hide ambiguous results?

    In a large project like this, where the Find option is most useful, I'm sifting through all the false positives for the useful results.
