Searching

To make the best use of Address Manager, you will need to know how to enter your search text, and how to select the types of cards to search for.

The Search menu allows you to select up to six types of card to search. When you type your search text and click the search button, Address Manager searches each card of the selected types for the search text. If it finds that text anywhere in the card, it lists the card in the Found drop-down box.

When the search is completed, indicated by the activity (spinning globe) icon reverting to a search (magnifying glass) icon:

• The first card found is listed in the scrolling pane

• The number of cards found is listed to the left of the Found drop-down box

• Any cards found are listed in the Found drop-down box

• The icon to the right of the drop-down box indicates a card's type

If your search returns no cards, check that the relevant card types are selected in the Search menu.
