Hi,

We’ve run into an issue where there are groups that are not within our current search base, that we would like to access. But changing the search base as a whole to include both trees are undesirable since it would also include a lot of unrelated objects.

Is it possible to specify multiple search bases?  
I guess not, but a quick browse through of the code didn’t make me any wiser…

You are correct, there is not currently a way to do multiple search bases.

Please feel free to make a request in Github for this enhancement. 🙂
