[LegacyUG] Search information in Notes
I have some 1800 records in my Legacy 8. I need to search the whole database for specifics. For example I am sure from memory that there is information in the notes about a Grange Farm but I cannot find it. Is there a way to do a global search on all data with Grange+Farm as a search criteria? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Mike Mike Forryan Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Any help would be appreciated I'm a bit confused because your subject is Search information in Notes and then you say a global search on all data. Do you mean that Grange Farm might be within any of the 6 Notes fields? Unfortunately, Legacy can only search on 3 criteria at a time so to cover all the Notes fields you would need to Search twice. There isn't a global Search which searches every field in the database. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Can you give me some guidance as to how to search the notes fields please. Is there a video guide on this? I have looked at the search facilities but cannot see how to do the search. This topic probably will be covered in due course, but I don't think the videos for Legacy 8 are ready yet. If you open Help, you will see Tutorial on the right-hand side. Click Tutorial Lessons and scroll down to the exercise How to search for individuals under the Intermediate heading. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Search information in Notes
The only way I see is Search Search Replace. Look in the menu for General Notes. N.B.: Be carefull, don't press substitute. Take note of the name and the RIN number. It is a crippled solution.

RE: [LegacyUG] Search information in Notes
You can use Search - Find In the Where to Search you can select any one of the note fields Under How to Look, select Contains Under What to Look For enter your search string I don’t think it will take it in the form you showed. If you just enter it as Grange Farm, it will look for that phrase. If you want it to look for Grange and Farm as separate words, you’ll need look just for Grange, click the And option and set up the second condition to look for Farm. Otherwise, you can use the 2nd and 3rd conditions, with the Or option, to search up to 3 different Note fields at one time. On the Where to Look list, most of the Note fields are grouped together, but the one for Event-Notes which applies to custom events, is listed separately further down on the list.

You probably need to change the How to look to Contains David On 17/12/2013 17:26, Mike Forryan wrote: Hi Kurt Thanks for the info. I have tried but still get no results.
