Hi Rhonda

Go figure. I played around some more with a criteria search in the Address Book using just text entered in the Notes search field. Bingo. It worked this time. Oddly, though, it seems to be very particular about how stuff is entered. Although I have my keyboard braille entry set to grade 2, entering text in the search field for Notes won't work if you try grade 2. Hmm. But I entered test stuff in Notes in various records and the Notes search did work this time.

Earlier, I had entered the phrase Student ID in the actual Notes, and then tried searching with the word student, or the word ID. When I went back and added the letter sign in front of ID in both the record and then the search string, the search worked. Similarly, when I tried typing the word in the search area using the st and en contractions, it wouldn't accept that. I don't know why as keyboard entry is set to grade 2.

So, bottom line is that it does work but I don't know what the limitations are. Now, maybe I'm the limitation. Smile.

Jean
