Summary:
Similarly named symbols are found in Find Reference tool even if they are in different .exe projects.


Test VS solution:

vatest.proj
- source1.cpp
vatest2.proj
- source2.cpp


source1.cpp contains 1 line:
static int global;

source2.cpp contains 1 line:
static int global;

If I use Find Reference tool on any of those vars, I'll find both. But they are different static variables in absolutely different exe projects. There is no way they could be same.

IRL I'm developing with many exe project and sometimes Find References shows too much data from different exe which is slowing me down.

Turning off "Display references from all projects" won't help because I usually do need to search symbols which are used in multiple projects.

The aforementioned "Display references from all projects" is all we have right now. I have added your vote to case=58805 which is a bug report about this kind of problem.
