In Codebook for macOS, you have the option to set the scope for the search function. You can search for any combination of entries, fields and labels. Setting the scope of the search narrows down the list of results so your search is more useful. The default scope is entries and fields.
Here's an example where you would want to search only for an entry. You have an Entry named “Mike Gmail Account”, but you have many other entries that have email field values that contain your email address “mikemalibu@zetetic.net”. If you search for “mike”, every single entry that contains your email will be listed along with the actual data you’re searching for “Mike Gmail Account”. But if you only check “Entries” under search scope, it will only search for entries that contain “mike” in the entry name and the results will be smaller.
Some common scenarios we’ve come across are when searching for a label are:
You set the scope by selecting from the options that are displayed when you you click on the search scope button to display the list of search options. Click on the desired option or options and only that type of data will be returned from your search.
