Hold down the SHIFT key and select each of the databases you wish to search.
Then click on the "binoculars" button to open the Search Mask. Click the "Reset
all" button. Click the "Position" button, and click "Get board". The last board
position from the last game you were in (i.e. the board position you either set
up or played through the moves to get to) will appear on the position search
board. Click "OK" to return to the Search Mask. Click "OK" in the Search Mask.
CB6 will then search the databases you selected and put the games it finds on
the Clipboard.

BTW -- always click "Reset all" before performing a search. This resets the
Search Mask to its defaults and removes old search criteria from previous
searches.
