Why doesn't launching the Search Part utility automatically scan the model?
It is a redundant step in the search process. Users cannot create a search definition without scanning the model.

As the previous comment mentions, larger models are much slower to scan. I can verify it is possible to set up a filter without scanning the model.
I find this very slow on big models. I think it's possible to create your own search string by typing in the variables you are searching for?
