Using the Simple Search Facility

Use a simple search to perform coarse-grained searches for terms. Follow the instructions below to use the simple search facility.

  1. Enter the text for the search (or select the text of a recent search) in the Search combo box on the tool bar. You can use wildcard patterns allowed in LIKE statements by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
    Note: Select a column heading and click the * button on the tool bar, then enter text in the Search combo box to scroll intelligently to items in that column. The tool matches text as you type.
  2. Click the * button on the tool bar to match business names only. Click both the * button and the * button to match terms and business names (search terms are ORed).
  3. Click the * button on the tool bar. The results of the search are displayed in the Search Result pane.
