Set search as calculation {calculation}
This command sets the current search as the single line calculation specified. The calculation replaces the current search class if one has been set. A subsequent report, Search list or a Find command with Use search will use the search calculation.
Search calculations allow the index optimization routine in Omnis to select a suitable index, provided that such an index is available. Leaving the calculation blank has the effect of clearing the previous search calculation.
