Not a question but a solution instead.
I recently needed to find the process model backing a messaging event. There was not much hope from within the product so instead I used trusty old windows tools. findstr is or should be part of a default windows install so no need to tinker with the search index settings.
Simply cd to your models directory and let rip with with this simple string search:
C:\\appian\\_admin\\models>findstr /s /i /m "\\<DestinationEventPersistentID\\>" *.xml
This search pattern returns the file name for any files which contain your "DestinationEventPersistentID". Is is a little slow but this all depends no how many models you have.
Thanks, James

You could also use notepad++ for searching in files filtered by folders.

I usually create an app with all Appian objects. Export it, unzip and search for custom functions or other objects used using notepad++ find in files feature.
