I never knew that searching comments like that is possible, made a note of it. Have not lost anything yet but by the time I need to find something I'll surely have forgotten this snippet of useful info. Thanks!

You can control what fields are searched by a non-prefixed search in Preferences|Interface|Searching.
I believe the default used to be to search all fields, including comments. I became accustomed to being able to search the comments. Later, IIRC, the default was changed to exclude comments, but it was made user configurable, so I added it back in. I use it regularly.
It's not unusual for me to remember a character name, a genre or something about the plot. All that info is often in my comments. I copy lots of info into comments to make it searchable. A reviewer may state that book 1 reminds them of book 2. If I search for book 2, I like finding book 1, too. If I search for a character name, it's nice to find the book, etc.
