Find Contacts

 

The Find Contacts window makes it easy to find specific contacts.  Note that all searches are case-insensitive.

 

Text

Enter the text you want to find

Match

Select one of the match options:

Exact

The text specified must exactly match a field in the contact.  For example, searching for "out of", the contact "out of area" will not match.

Partial

The text specified must be found within a field in the contact.  For example, searching for "out of", the contact "out of area" will match.

Beginning

The text specified must be found at the start of a field in the contact.  For example, searching for "12", contacts with phone number "(800) 555-1212" will not match, but contacts with phone number "800" will match.

End

The text specified must be found at the end of a field in the contact.  For example, searching for "12", contacts with the phone number "(800) 555-1212" will match.

Word

The text specified must match a whole word.  For example, searching for "are" will not match "Out of Area".
