To search the current scrapbook,
select Scrapbook > Search. Construct up to five search criteria (two
without a Registration Key) based on any of the Item Information fields and
on content in items of type: HTML, RTFD, RTF, HTML, URL, plain text and also
PDF when running under
Panther or Tiger. When two or more criteria are specified, they can be linked
by "All" or "Any" meaning that all or any of the criteria must
be satisfied. Check the "Retain Search Criteria" box if you want to use the
same criteria to search another scrapbook.
Next, select whether results will be viewed within the current scrapbook or in a new scrapbook. If you want to edit some of the items, viewing within the current scrapbook is the better choice. For example, you can search for items that have an empty Memo field, then edit the Memo field in items in the found set. If you want to copy all items with certain characteristics, for example, all that are images, then viewing search results in a new scrapbook may be the better choice. When the criteria are complete click the "Search" button. If all items are found, or if none are found, you will be given the option of modifying the search criteria or of canceling the search.
When results are viewed within the current scrapbook(s), three tools appear above the thumbnails of the Combined view: Found, Omitted, and All.
By clicking the first two tools, items in either the Found set or Omitted set can be made active. Active items are editable, and the active set can be saved by using the Save As... command. While the scrapbook is in Search mode items can be copied or dragged from it, but not to it. Clicking on the "All" tool closes Search Mode and makes all items in the scrapbook active.
To sort the current scrapbook, select Scrapbook > Sort. Construct up to three sort criteria (one without a Registration Key) by selecting from among Item Information fields and item content. For each criterion select an order: Ascending or Descending.
To retain the sort order check the "Keep Sorted" box. When this box is checked the retained sort criteria will be used to order new items placed in the scrapbook or re-order items that are modified. When the criteria are ready click the "Sort" button.
To scramble the order of items in a scrapbook select Scrapbook > Randomize Order.... To prevent unintended randomizations, you will be asked to confirm the command.
