SQl Search disappeared on lower version of SSMS

  Hi @Kraj
  
  Thanks for your post.
  
  Could you please try uninstalling then reinstalling the software again and that should solve the issue.
  
  If that still does not work then please let us know as it may need further investigation.

  I have SSMS 2008 R2 and updated my SQL Dev Bundle to version containing SQL Prompt 8 and SQL Search 2.4. Now neither of these tools is available in SSMS 2008. After multiple re-installs etc. finally figured out they weren't compatible. My whole day has been wasted. I can't believe Redgate didn't make it a little more obvious that older versions were no longer supported. I did the update from within SSMS 2008 after all. Very frustrated with this.

  Hi echovault
  
  Sorry that you encountered a frustrating time attempting SQL Prompt V8 and SSMS 2008. The information that SSMS 2008 R2 and earlier versions were no longer supported was included in the product release notes.
  
  Support for earlier versions of SSMS was dropped to make use of the newer versions of Microsoft technologies so that we can better support the latest versions of SQL Server and SSMS.
  It will also help us to deliver customer requested features, improvements and bug fixes faster to users.
  
  SQL Prompt 8 still supports connecting to SQL Server 2000 and above, including SQL Server 2008.
  You can connect to old versions of SQL Server (e.g. SQL Server 2008) using the newest version SSMS 2017.
  
  Many Thanks
  Eddie
