Find in genie doesn't find anything - yet it is there...

Also tried the GBA open/save/close every single genie/symbol/template method - but no change.

Interestingly - we also had a problem with GBA when cycling through all objects in a genie whereby it failed to retrieve the AN of an object a few times.  This was reproducible and once that object was identified (by elimination), deleting it and recreating it resolved that issue.
But this was a different issue than the Find one I have raised here.

Also have another Find issue whereby the Find "%" on a few genies returns "phantom" expressions containing non-existent substitutions (not there using either GBA or drilling into objects manually in Graphics Builder.

I guess I am trying to work out if I should pursue this issue - or is this just what we should expect from Citect / PlantSCADA?  There seems to be no validation / cleaning tool or procedure that can resolve them and it is taking literally days of time trying to get a handle on them all.

Should I start the migration to Archestra Graphics now? ;)

I think I'm currently having a similar issue to the last one you mentioned. I was using Find to search for some tags and it returned results of pages that are either from an include project (but says they're from the project I'm searching from), or from a page that no longer exists (one of them must have been over 10 years old and has since been deleted). When clicking on the results, nothing happens. Tried deleting all RDB and NDX files and packing/updating/compiling but no luck. Running V8.30 Update 05.

I suggest that you send a sample of the corrupted libraries to support and see if R&D can figure out what is wrong with them.

Perhaps copying and pasting the content into a blank genie and saving it could clean it?

Could be time to start the planning to migrate to AIG.

Yeah - thinking I will raise a case - but it does worry me that these sort of issues have no identified cause (so you wonder if they can just come back again somehow).
Did try the copy and paste to newly created genie and same result (still dodgy).
