So much for the Pre's "Universal Search". It's far from universal! In my contacts I have lots of restaurants. Back in the days of my Treo 700p, I stored restaurants in the Contacts app by entering the restaurant name in the Company field, and append the word "restaurant" to the end of the company name. That way when I did a global search on the string "restaurant", I'd see all my restaurants listed by company name. This doesn't work on the Pre, apparently because the Pre only searches the name and phone number fields, and nothing else. According to the Palm web site, only if you sync to Exchange (which I don't) will it search for company and job title. (WHY?) So, I guess I need to copy all of the restaurant names in my contacts database and paste them under the Name field for the search tool to find them. For a device that brags about its fantastic search tool, I find this inability to search its own databases laughable. The old Palm OS devices could search and find strings across all 4 PIM databases, including all fields, addresses, and notes. Why didn't Palm keep all the good things from Palm OS and improve on them for WebOS? George
