Why is searching in my form/table so incredibly slow?


This is because when you search (as opposed to filter) the data with OpenOffice, then Base retrieves all the data from the server, and looks for itself to find the search item(s), instead of letting the server do this. This, of course, is slow. But, though *Office's search is probably not the fastest possible on earth, it's more a problem of you doing the wrong thing to get the right results.

Filter your form, to let the server do the work.
