That's what males it QUICK, if you want to know. It doesn't have to search the database, just its own columns. Since the folder windows have many columns, there isn't room for both display name AND email address for "From" column. therefore only Display Name is shown (unless there is no display name, the email address is shown). Therefore QuickFilter only finds display names (or email address when no display name). So, no, it's no different in Entourage X. It's not a bug: that's how it works. Now that you, what is so hard about using Advanced Find if you want to look for email addresses? If you press option-command-F, up it pops, with the search already preset to the From filed for the very message you have selected in your folder. Not only that, searching the database, at least in X, is very fast, if not quite as fast as QuickFilter. So you have many ways of searching - what's the problem? -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
