Global Searching

In addition to the search feature that each message list has, there is a broader, global search option available.

Click the Search button on the Home toolbar, or select Search from the Tools menu, or press the <F3> key.

The Global Search screen allows you to search all messages in the database, including those that have been archived, by Caller, Company, Phone Number, Subject and Message Text.

Enter your search text in the Search for field, next select where you want to search using the Search in drop-down list, and finally click the Search button.

The Search for field remembers your previous searches so you can perform an earlier search by selecting the search text from the drop-down list.

Use the Search in drop-down list to select the field to search

Right-click on the Search message list to show the popup menu.

So once you have finished searching, how do you get back to the rest of PhonePad, like the Inbox.  Simply select the Inbox folder, or click on the Return to Inbox link.
