I just export the view (or make a screenshot and clip it) and run the script
v = av.getactivedoc e = v.getdisplay.returnvisextent Number.SetDefFormat( "d" ) ext = e.getleft.asstring ++ e.getbottom.asstring ++ e.getright.asstring ++ e.gettop.asstring msgBox.Report(ext, "") to get the map extent that I use for the map file. For the attribute serach you need to specify a buffer tolerance for point layers, now in the config file as pointBuffer (in map units). The settings for the demo data is 5000 m, so a bit high for urban data.
