Tips

1. The entities returned - Components or Footprints - depends on the chosen scope, defined using the Search in field in the Libraries Search dialog.
2. When searching components, all SchLib, IntLib and DbLib libraries - available along the defined library path - will be interrogated. When searching footprints, all PcbLib and IntLib libraries will be interrogated.
3. All results are listed in the Query Results listing, back in the Libraries panel.
