Hi,
From 7.2 on you can use the first part of a field.
You can probably do that in 7.0 also.
For example, to search for Jennifer, you could just use "jen", it
assumes a multy character wildcard after your last letter.
(It might be doing what in SQL is probably called a search
starting with).
Not tried the first characters followed by single character
wildcard.
Regards,
Steve.

Subject: [Braillenote] Database searching question
I use the database rather than the address list to store most of
my
contacts. When I'm searching for a contact, it will let me enter
a wildcard
character (the *) and then a few letters if I only remember part
of the
name. It will not let me enter the first part of a name and then
a wildcard
character, however, which is frustrating because usually when I
remember a
name it's the first half, not the last half.
Is there any way around this? I have KeySoft 7.0 on an mPower QT.
