INTRODUCTION

Scrolling through the list to find a particular contact can be tedious. Instead, you can search for a contact. You might also search if you can't remember the name of your contact but do remember some other detail. You can search on any field.

TIP

Opening Matched Items

You open contacts that match your search criteria just as you do any other contacts in a contact list: by double-clicking them.

TIP

Setting Search Options

Change the search options by clicking the Find bar's Options button and then clicking Advanced Find. You can select to search based on category, e-mail address, or other entries. Make your choices and click Find Now.
