That's a great link! It doesn't seem to address how the search databases are handled in a unity shared envirnonmen. I see upon first launch of the project the database is created and it is updated when a bin is changed but what happens when two people have the same project open on a unity and both are making bin changes. How does Avid handle access permissions to the _SearchDB_? Is it like AvidMediaFiles folder that has subfolders for each user so when user 2 changes a bin it can modify the _SearchDB_ specifically in the user 2 subfolder while User 1 changes a bin and modifies it's subfolder in the _SearchDB. If there is only one _SearchDB_ who or what controls the access to the file?

I'd still like to know how the _SearchDB_ is managed in a unity environment. Sense it is part of the project folder when multiple users have a unity project open who gets to have access to the _SearchDB_? Would it make sense to disable search on all but one station to speed the unity up. I'm trying to understand if the _SearchDB_ in a shared environment uses a folder structure like the AvidMediaFiles do. If not how can multiple users modify and access the _SearchDB_ at the same time? What determines when the _SearchDB_ is accessed and updated?

The other thing was if people weren't using the find function they might shut it off. I'm not sure how to deactivate the find function. This is not phrase find or script sync just the basic find that creates the _SearchDB_. How does one disable this find function and does it seem logical that this might help the slow unity? Also on a unity system in the search data folder that contains _SearchDB_ are there various subfolders for the various users on the unity like you find in the avidmediafiles folder. I've only got a standalone running on my laptop so I'm curious how the SearchDB is accessed and revised in a unity shared environment.
