The slow down is quite significant for non-text PDFs, so I'm with Alex on this one. >> or could it be changed? > > No. Although if you drag the PDF file to Skim/Preview, that would > avoid sending the search string. Also, the search is only sent if > you search by "file content" or "any field." Clearly file content is appropriate but could we have a preference to not do this for "any field"? In any case if the file content index hasn't been built (as is sadly often the case with my usage) then Bibdesk isn't actually even searching file content with "any field", so it really doesn't make sense.
