Quick Find: Text Search

Quick Find allows you to locate a specific record (or records). To use Quick Find, make sure that the top display is activated and simply start typing.  

A window will open showing the letters typed (see highlighted text).  

When in Quick Find mode, pressing ENTER will display the records that match in List View.

With the top window activated, any typing will activate the Quick Find window.

Press ENTER to perform Quick Find.

As an alternative, you can also type the search text into the option on the toolbar

ContactEase also recognizes the % symbol as a wildcard. If you're uncertain of the spelling of a name, using a wildcard search can help. For example,  Sm%th will find Smith, Smithers, Smothers, Smithson, etc.  

Wildcard Tips

To precede a search with a wildcard, start by typing any letter then use the backspace key so that you can enter the % symbol. 

If the name you're looking for includes a space, use an underscore (_). Searching Van_Der will find the last name of Van Der Woodsen, Van Der Waals, etc.,  or a company that begins with Van Der.
