Search results will be displayed in the contacts list in the middle.

Searching convers all directories and the results are mixed together form all sources. Which directory a particular contacts belongs to is displayed at the top of the contact properties box, right above the contact’s picture and name.

Advanced Search Form

While the simple search box in the toolbar area just searches for the entered words somewhere in the contact, the advanced search function allows a more specifc query on the address book.

Click the Advanced toolbar button and the search form appears in the contact area on the right. Here you can enter search parameters for the individual contact fields. For example you can search for all contacts named “Paul” (First Name) who are living in “New York” (Address).

Start the search by pressing the Search button below the form. The contacts list in the middle will show all contacts matching all the criterias entered. If none is listed, the Status Display will display an according message.

Saved Searches

When having access to huge address directories, searching is probably the preferred way to navigate through them. Beside organizing contacts in groups, you can also create filters aka “saved searches”. Such a filter remembers the parameters used when searching for contacts and executes that search again when recalled.
