Keyword Search Fields

The keyword search queries theTitle field, Description field, Project (Issue) and Address Book fields for all FootPrints database versions (SQL Server, Access, SQL Express, Oracle, and MySQL) except for the FootPrints database.  The FootPrints database version only searches the Title and Description fields.  This keyword search for the FootPrints database can potentially be slow, so an alternative to search only Title is available.
