Complex Search, Fields to Search

In the Find dialog, click the More Choices button to use the Complex Search feature. The dialog box grows to display a lot more search options. On the left of the dialog, you can activate or deactivate search in each field separately.

The search is not slower if all fields are checked, it's not faster either if only some fields are checked. Thus, in most cases, it's better to leave all fields checked.

Lists to Search, Network Search

You can search only in the current list (the frontmost one), or in all the open lists.

Searching on the network avoids loading a whole remote list. Carnet queries the remote Macintosh, which executes its own search and sends back the result. This remote Carnet is regarded as a server, even if actually any open Carnet on the network can thus be queried.

It may be useful to setup a dedicated Carnet to serve remote queries, to provide for an easy sharing of data, every user querying the same list through the network. See Sharing Lists.

Carnet can only use the network search if Program Linking is activated on the remote Macintosh, and if the user has the appropriate access privileges. See the Mac OS Help for more information about Program Linking.
