Overview

You can search for events, tasks, notes, and contacts by using the Search window. This window is displayed when the Search command on the Edit menu is used. Search results will be displayed in the List View. The only functional difference between using this window and commanding searches directly from the "Search" field at the top of the List View is the search can be narrowed down to specified fields. When searching from the List View, all fields will be searched, which could cause more search results to appear than expected.
