When you click Retrieve, the system searches the entire database. If you do not set many restrictions, it must check every reference number field of every record. When you set more restrictions, the system checks the specified fields and eliminates records that do not meet the criteria. The more restrictions you set, the faster the system will be able to retrieve the reference numbers.
