Searching the Second Word in the List
When you type the first characters of a name to find a record, it may be necessary to type a lot of characters to reach the right record. This is especially true with families, where you can have several records in a row sharing the same name, or with companies in which you know a lot of people.
If you hit the space bar, the following characters typed will be matched with the second word. For example, to find William Martin in that list, you need only to type 'm w':
- Martin Albert
- Martin John
- Martin Paul
- Martin William
The space between 'm' and 'w' makes the search look for a second word starting with 'w', restricting the search to records where the first word starts with 'm'.
You can start a search by typing a space. For example, typing ' wi' (including the leading space) will look for a record where the second word starts with 'wi', probably the first William in the list. This method allows to retrieve a record directly from the first name.
 |
Typing the initials (thus separating them with a space) is often enough to find the right record. |
If the record is both set to list by company and by name, the second word search will be done on the name, even if the company is made of several words. For example:
- Apple Computer, Martin John
If you type 'ap ma', the above record is found. The word 'Computer' is ignored. If there is a comma in the list cell, Carnet uses the word following the comma.
|
This search method
allows for a very flexible organization of the records by name or
by company. You can group in the list all the records related to
a company (i.e. all the people working there) by listing them both
by company and by name. Then, you can retrieve a record by typing
the first characters of the company, a space, then the first characters
of the person's name. |
