Hello, Is it possible to search addresses as opposed to names in PC8.5?
Some of the contributors' handwriting is illegible and it is very difficult to search for only their name.

Also, I have an issue of searching first names only, and the results that are returned have used the first name as another persons last name which makes it very difficult to search. For example; I would search 'smith' as the first name only and leave the last name blank, and the results would come as 'rob smith' which wasn't what I was looking for.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

thx.

This dilemma is solved in v9. The various Locate lists can be sorted and searched by any field included in the list. For contribution entry, this means Last Name, First Name, and Address.

Is it possible to search for phone numbers?
