I think the point might be that you are only able to search for an object in the libraries that are loaded. It would be very useful to be able to search in other libraries that are not yet loaded. I think this would be very useful.

Do you mean like point Archicad to a folder and trying to search it for an object name?

Yes, I keep all my 3rd party libraries in a main Folder called ArchiCAD Libraries. It would be nice to be able to pick that folder from within the Library Manager window and do a search of all of the parts in that folder.

duhhh it's like basic stuff,no?? Why Graphisoft tends to develop things nobody need instead or really good and useful new tools, like ceilings??
