Searching for Data

You can use either initial character search or all search to look for specific data in the Scheduler (Schedule, To Do, Reminder), Contacts, and Memo Modes. Note that both search operations check the data only in specific entries (fields) of each data item.

The following table shows which entries (fields) are checked in each mode for each type of search.

2.If the mode you are in uses categories, select the category whose data you want to search.

Note that a search checks the data only in the category you are in.
