My work around has been the excellent search function from iSphere. It's
faster and has no impact on the FNDSTRPDM options in PDM. (FWIW: I always
thought it was a good thing the RDi developers used an existing capability
from PDM to implement this.)

I always felt like I did make the choice on the parameter changes. I just
did it through an alternative interface.
