I20090929
The API usage scan tool searches for references in every bundle that matches the "search in" expression. However it seems to me that this is overkill since by definition only a bundle that requires or import a type of the "searched for" bundles will be able to contain references. 
I suggest that we have an option to only search the bundles that import or require a bundles from searched for set. I think special attention would have to be given to the "re-export" clause.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
