How do you do the second one? The only one I know of is the search in parts bin. As far as I know (which isn't all that far 
) all the user related changes are supposed to appear in the Fritzing\My Documents or Fritzing\Documents and Fritzing\Appdata directories (and their equivalent on the other platforms) so that no user related changes happen in the main distribution directories to be damaged during an upgrade (core parts do get changed in that directory when a parts update occurs on github but I think nothing user related is supposed to change there). In the movable parts discussion in parts help it appears a parts folder rename on the user's part is what broke the search functionality. It was working on Win10 (just like mine), he made a part related folder change that made a folder inaccessable in Windows and Fritzing, and search has stopped working and hasn't yet recovered (we so far haven't convinced him to try and delete the user diirectories to see if that helps). To me that points to something getting corrupted in the two user directories that causes this, but not being able to reproduce it I can't say for sure.
