Even with good filtering and sorting capabilities,
it's hard to find something when you can only remember a name, a phrase, or part
of a word.
The Compleat Botanica has a Find command which allows you to scan your
specimen records for a word or a part of a word. This find command looks
at each column of data in your database and locates the next record matching
your keyword. Using the Find command on the sample database with the word
"California" for example, finds the common names "California
allspice", California poppy", and the nursery "California Flora
Nursery".
A similar Find command allows you to scan the botanical name checklist for
entries starting with an alphabetic string. For example, the search for
"californica" will consecutively return species, subspecies, and
varieties of that name.
