There's no FAQ, but I think the Hints help page and Tips window cover
this topic.

Two alternative ways to do what you want:

 (a) Copy (Ctrl+C) a game in your games base, switch to your big base,
     then paste (Ctrl+V) the game.
     This is useful if you want to do more than just exact position
     searches, such as doing an opening report, novelty search, etc.

 (b) If you only want to see the Tree for your big base while browsing
     games in your own games base, then (1) switch to big base, (2) open
     the Tree window, (3) press the lock button, (4) switch to your
     other database.
     This way is useful if you are browsing different games or multiple
     databases and want the tree to stay locked on a main database.
