To use the Quick Search option

Quick Search appears in the Task Pane.

Can be accessed by either clicking in the Search box or pressing Ctrl+Q.

• Quick Search has three levels of searching.
• Shallow search whilst typing, and two deeper levels after pressing enter or clicking search.
• Shallow Search.
• Searching based upon Client name and Phone Numbers (and other contact methods, e.g., Email, depending on the database size) occurs while the User is typing into the Quick Search box.
• This can be disabled from Tools, Global Settings, Search page as can searching on Account Name which may cause unpredictable results for some companies.
• Deeper Searching.
• Pressing enter will perform a deeper (and therefore slower) search and will also search Security Statements.
• Dropdown database combo boxes.
• Dropdown combo boxes, such as Clients and Accounts, integrate to the new Quick Search.
• Right-clicking on the control will either show the top match (the item flagged with a tick) if no items are selected, otherwise a list of all selected rows.
• Various other forms, e.g. Account Payment wizard, also integrate via a new Search button next to the Code.
• This opens a Quick Search popup.
• Simply press <F6> and start typing.
• Or Ctrl+Q if Find button showing.
• The Quick Search behaviour can be customised via the Tools, User Preferences, Search page, e.g., to only show the 'Search' button.

To search enter the search term e.g. "sample" and either presss enter or click on the button to perform the search.
