By default, the MediaMonkey search bar searches for all commonly used text fields. 

For very large collections, you can improve search performance ten-fold by limiting 

searches to e.g. Title, Artist, Album Artist, Genre, and Album fields.



In MediaMonkey 3.1+, go to Tools > Options > Search and select only those fields

that you wish to search.



In MediaMonkey 3.0, you have to edit the [Options] section of the MediaMonkey.ini file by adding 

the line indicated below:



[Options]

QuickDBSearch = 1
