Hello! used fmod studio version 2.01.07 it seems when searching for event-references of an existing snapshot, ALL events will be shown as an result, instead of the events that are linked to the snapshot. to reproduce: make new project create two events A and B create new snapshot SNP make snapshot instrument with SNP in event A search for referenced events of SNP (right click) both events A and B will be displayed this is ofc quite a disappointment, since for big projects it’s nearly impossible to look through each and every event for an possible Snapshot-Reference manually. 🙃 ---

This is definitely a bug. Finding references of snapshots in events should only return events that use that snapshot as a snapshot instrument. Instead it seems to be displaying everything regardless if it uses the snapshot or not. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. ---

Hello @richard_simms is there any news about fixing this bug? ---

It hasn’t been seen to as of yet, but I will bump it to be looked at sooner. ---

@richard_simms I would like to add that Serching Return buses in Events produce the same bug, can you just add it to the same report? ---

I’m not seeing this behaviour. Could you please let me know how you are trying to search for these return buses? ---

That`s strange. This only happens with existing return buses in my project which I use as aux reverb channels. They have convolution reverbs inserted. When I click on this, it just lists all the events in the project. But the funny thing is that I can not reproduce this with any new return buses. It just happens with the existing ones in the project. I get the same result for every one of them. Version is 2.01.09 64-bit and validate project came up with no errors. ![Untitled](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/a/adfcefe388c11c5ec19df3852d68bafe6da78cca.png) ---

Could you please try the following: 1. When you have clicked on Find Sends \> In Events, it should bring up the Events Browser with a query in the search field. 2. Right click on the Master bus in the mixer and select “Copy GUID”. 3. In the Events browser search field type “`NOT #references:`” then paste the GUID to the end of the query If this doesn’t show the specific events could you show a screenshot of the search query that generates at step one? ---

Hello, I tried to do as you said but then it only shows all the folders but empty. It’s like the return bus have a reference to the folders themselves. #references:{921f79b5-0e5a-46a2-88ae-035efa5d39fc} NOT {2a276e49-2749-4212-a39a-72385b29ff07} this is generated in the search field ---

That’s very odd. Are you able to package the project without the assets (File \> Package Project) and send it over for me to look at? There might be a way to “refresh” the buses that are being affected by this issue. You can DM me a link for privacy. ---

Sorry for the late answer but this problem apparently went away, we switched the project to 2.02.06. Maybe it`s because of that.
