85		-The search field in the Lost & Found Database does a search as well in the information displayed in the list as in the logs of all entries. Thus a search for “ID” might not (only) bear the results you expect.
	93	+The **Search** box in the Lost & Found Database is designed to perform a search across the Lost & Found information currently displayed in the Lost & Found Database list. It does not limit itself to the visible details displayed in the Lost & Found Database list but also extends its search functionality to the **logs** of all entries displayed.

It does not limit itself to the visible details displayed in the item list but also extends its search functionality to the **logs** of all entries displayed.
	95	+However, this search capability may lead to unexpected results in certain cases. For example, a search for a short and simple term like **"ID"** might not (only) return the exact entry you were anticipating. Instead, it could generate a broader set of results, including any log entries where the term "ID" has been mentioned. This could include items that were not directly associated with the visible information you were targeting in the Lost & Found Database list.

91		-While this behavior enhances the system's ability to surface deeply embedded data, it also requires users to be mindful of how they structure their searches.

97	97	The **Lost & Found Item Log** serves as a secure and organised tool to document observations, updates, or other relevant details about each item as they arise over time. All entries in the Item Log are treated as confidential, accessible only to authorised personnel. This ensures privacy, particularly when sensitive details about items or their potential owners are involved. Additionally, the log entries are fully searchable through the **Search** box, making it easy to retrieve specific information when needed.
98	98
99	99	For optimal clarity and usability, it is advisable to write **short and concise** log entries. Keeping entries focused, without filling words, and to the point not only saves time but also ensures that the information is easily understandable by others who may need to reference it later.
