Basic Search
The Basic Search is a general search allowing you to search text, entry names, fields, annotations, or a combination of these from the Search Pane. This is an OR search, meaning one or the other or both of the selected criteria must be met. This search is similar to the Quick Search, only it's viewed in the Search Pane. You can use wildcards.
Example: Searching on text and fields for the word Shakespeare will return all entries that have the word "Shakespeare" in their text, or in a field, or in both.
