    Hi, I’m a new user… I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, or changed something in a particular record somehow…

    I have a form with several fields, one of which is a text field called “description” with no pick lists. I have a record that doesn’t return when I think it should… the description says “Spiderwebs”, and no portion of that word returns that record. Other descriptions seem to work as expected, but I only have 30 or so records, so it’s hard to test well…

    Why would a particular record not return with a search?

    Hi Germaine,

    Try running the Rebuild Search Index command in the Database Maintenance screen. On Mac it’s in the Preferences, on iOS it’s in the Tools screen.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Thanks, Brendan! That fixed it…

    BTW, LOVE your product. Wish it had a cloud version… I’d happily pay an annual fee to edit my stuff with a keyboard more easily! But even without, it’s powerful and useful as is!!!
