 The report was from a user, and I've noticed this myself before. Part
 of the problem, as I said elsewhere to Abdel, is that I, for example,
 have lots of abstracts, etc, in my bibfiles, and these all get
 searched, too, which makes them very large. Anyway, you'll see that
 I've just added an option to "search as you go", instead of hitting
 enter, so you can still do it that way if you like.

One additional comment though: maybe we should exclude the abstract from the searched fields?

I thought about this, but: (i) There are lots of fields like that that could be used. Excluding one might help, but how much? I use Abstract but also Comment and Review, and before I started using JabRef I think I used some other field. We can't really predict this. (ii) If we're searching "All Fields", we should search All Fields.
