I would also be in favor of adding this feature DISABLE_GRUB_SEARCH_ALTOGETHER=true
(or whatever name you choose), as described and suggested in the very first message of this thread by Eskild. Rationale: if your BIOS does not support large (>137GB ;) disks then Grub gets stuck unable to search for the UUID and the system cannot boot. This happens regularly, after you upgrade the kernel. It's painful to comment it out or run an extra script deleting searchers from grub.cfg. Please add it along with the comment that one can use it for their own risk.
