Click '''Edit Search''' to define where (in which field) will the application search for the character entered into the application’s search field. Also, it can be defined whether to search at the field’s beginning, end or in each full text. You can add multiple fields, the conditions are combined using the logical operation OR. | Click '''Edit Search''' to define where (in which field) will the application search for the character entered into the application’s search field.

Because the search uses OR, to enable more advanced search, you can create a filter with a condition over a text field (e.g. Name, Title etc.) and enter @@filter@@ as a filtered text. This will be replaced (in runtime) by the text entered into the search field on the view; see [[Filter_editor#Using_search_strings_in_filters|example]]. | Because the search uses OR, to enable more advanced search, you can create a filter with a condition over a text field (e.g. Name, Title etc.) and enter @@filter@@ as a filtered text.

Searching is generally fast, however, these are some of the factors that affect search speed: | |||
* number of records in entity where you search | |||
* sync filters with linked entities | |||
* complexity of database | |||
* device performance (power) | |||
* number of fields used in search | |||
If you have fields for GPS coordinates in the entity, and if you enable this option for the mobile project, users will be able to switch the view from list to map; the records will be displayed on the map. | If you have fields for GPS coordinates in the entity, and if you enable this option for the mobile project, users will be able to switch the view from list to map; the records will be displayed on the map. | ||
