This issue has me looking at other options for my music hardware and software. When I purchased my Pod X3 Pro it was supposed to be Rolls Royce of the Line 6. Line6 quickly ditched Gear Box and have left the Pod X users to deal with a limited resource for patches and with a Search that can't respond makes my system redundant and me feeling burned. One workaround for the "Search issue, is to view all of the Pod X3 top rated Custom Tones. Then just work down each page selecting and saving tones to a file on my desktop. This way I can concentrate my search on the best tones. When I have tired of the search I bookmark the page and then I can return to where I left off. When I am sure I have a tone that I want to keep I move it to my Gearbox/User file to interface it with my Pod X3. Hope that helped.
