The search path file (search.pro) will be traversed in the order that the folders are entered in that file. Every component of your assembly will be looked for in the first folder and if not found will then proceed down your list. If you have many folders that do not relate to your project, put them at the bottom of the list.

Use the Search_path_file config option to point to a local search.pro file that your users can customize for their own needs. This way they can eliminate the folders from being searched that their project does not need.

This is a prime example of where a PLM system will benefit you and your company.
