Searching Contacts:

Searching is one most unique feature in cBizOne.  Unlike most other Contact/EMail managers (like MS Outlook, ACT), cBizOne does instant live searching.  For example, if you are searching for Stephanie Johnson of Global Soft Systems, you just need to enter "st" in the Name column and "gl" in the Company Name column of the Search Bar.  It is proven that, it takes only 3 to 4 keystrokes and fraction of a second to locate a Contact from 10,000+ Contacts.  Click Clear Search Button to display all Contacts.

Searching in one field:
(For Example: First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Company Name, EMail Address, etc.)

You can search on any known piece of information.  You simply enter first few characters in the corresponding search column.

Searching in multiple fields:
(For Example: First Name and Company Name and Direct Phone)

You simply enter few characters of the first name in the Name column and enter few characters of the company name in the Company Name column and enter few characters of the phone number in the Direct Phone column of the Search Bar.

Searching by partial word in one field:
(For Example: all Contacts with the domain "hotmail.com")

Enter *@hot in the EMail column in the Search Bar.  If you enter asterisk ('*'), the search will locate all the occurrences matching your entry, not just the ones which start with what you entered.  For example if you enter *hos in the Last Name Search Column, the search will display all the last names starting with 'Hos' (like Hosman, etc.) and also all the last names containing 'hos' (like Ghosh,  Hossain, etc.)

Searching by multiple words in one field:
(For Example: all Contacts in Metro Dallas using area codes)
Enter 972,214,817 in the Direct Phone column in the Search Bar.  If you enter a comma, the search will locate all the contacts matching either one. i.e. Matching any word.

Summary:
*(Asterisk) = search anywhere in the column, not just starting from left
, (Comma) = search for multiple - any word
; (Semi-colon) = search for multiple - all words
