Maybe, but the fact remains that Entourage should give you the ability to search both fields at the same time, since there are lots of times when people don't differentiate clearly between the two when creating a contact. >> Request #1: an "any field" or "name or company" contains option in the >> quickfind. > > "Any Field" would NOT be a quickFind: it would very, very, very slow. "Name > or company" might be a good idea to save you from the workaround above. Understood.

Sorry, I meant "with 'Search subjects, titles, and names only' UNCHECKED" -- meaning if I do the most comprehensive search without using "More Options" it doesn't get found.

OK, then one of the options should (again) be "Name or Company" -- basically, any "identifying" field. That would be a good approach (and one that several people I have talked to wish existed). On the other hand, I still think that "any field" should be an option. If it takes a long time, it takes a long time, but it's an option that should exist. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
