How to stop SQL Search auto-searching

kalo

Is this a setting or somesuch that i am totally overlooking but does SQL Search have to start searching as soon as it opens.
At times it decides to look across all databases for a blank string even though i've not had chance to tell it what i want to find.
If you put a word in it goes off and brings back results for something it had already decided to look at so you have to click a few times to provoke it into doing the intended search.
Great that it comes back with the correct results eventually but why is that i have to cajole it into doing it , why can't it have a GO button that just searches when you are ready for it start looking?

Hi @kalo

Thanks for your post. 

Are you running the latest version? You'll need to be on V3.1.3 or later.  New in V3.1.3, SQL Search does not index databases automatically on start-up.  In V3.1.6 released on 22nd May we made improvements to initial indexing performance. Further information is below.

I hope this helps.
