| Doing a find reference on a symbol that has a common/generic name can be extremely slow. Even if that specific symbol is actually only used in a few places... |

Do you see messages related to creating templates in the status bar? It is one thing that can be slow. It looks like this:

| Another thought, in the Find References Results window, do you have search all projects, the button "Display references from all projects" turned On or Off? If you are working in a large solution, with a lot of projects, then searching more code will be slower than searching less code, rather obviously. |

yes, yes.
I am aware of the project limit option. Not sure how well that works in ue4, I just let it search all to make sure I don't miss anything. |

OK, to try and pin this down I have loaded VS2017, using VA 2333.0, and a new, default Puzzle Unreal project. Sitting inside the puzzle game project I have triggered Find References on "Super", figuring this is a good test of a common string.
Searching the entire solution, so the puzzle plus Unreal Engine 4.22 Find References took about 8 minutes, start to finish.
Not fast, but given the amount of code to parse and understand, this does not strike me as terrible. How does this compare to what you are seeing? Is this the sort of performance you are getting? Are you seeing Find References take an hour? 20 seconds?
This search returned 572 (+29 hidden) references in 141 files. For context, Open File in Solution, when set to only show files in the current solution, is showing a total of 41,934 files. This is the second number in the title bar of the Open File dialog. |
