When working with the various Find tool windows you will sometimes get messages based on what you are doing.  These range from informational messages:

To warning messages:

If you uncheck the "Always show this message" box the messages will go away.  But what is you want the messages back or don't want to wait for a message to pop up until you can turn the messages off?  No problem.  Just go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Find and Replace:

The "Display informational messages" and "Display warning messages" checkboxes will toggle showing these messages when you use a Find.  Informational messages really aren't very important however you should consider carefully if turning off warning messages is a good idea.
