Known limitations 

• The bigger the database, the longer it will take to index - during indexing, there may side effects, such as bogus results from searches made with SQL Search. Workaround: put the search string after the indexing finishes
• The search boxes may gray out if you open search too soon after starting SSMS. Workaround: disconnect SQL Server, reopen SQL Search, reconnect SQL Server
