Automation Script Advanced Search screen needs fields for searching launch points and code

The Advanced Search dialog in the Automation Scripts application needs to support searching for code snippets and launch points out of the box.

It only takes a few minutes to use App Designer to add fields for searching the LAUNCHPOINTTYPE, OBJECTNAME, ATTRIBUTENAME and CONDITION attributes on SCRIPTLAUNCHPOINT, but it would be nice if they were just there out of the box.

The bit mapped launch point ObjectEvent attribute is obtuse for those who can't memorize the bit mapping, so this should be made easier for searching.

Finally, the Advanced Search should also include a field for searching in the script's source code.

This will save trouble for support staff, developers and administrators who would otherwise need database skills and access or time to click through each script in the UI.

    To make the ObjectEvent attribute more accessible without any need to change code, it could be hooked to a numeric domain and the field could then use the plain VALUELIST lookup.
