Doing "smart" searches
Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 5:55 am
There are several places in the Donor Manager where you can do searches. This normally searches in the "Sort Name" field.
So, you type the first few letters a last name, and the Donor Manager tries to find that name.
But, if you preface what you type with a period (.) (or any punctuation mark, actually), the search looks in ALL data fields of the Donor Manager.
This is great is you know someone'e email address (let's say because a message bounced), but you have no idea who "agreatemailaddress@juno.com" actually belongs to.
Just do a search for .agreatemail and you should find who you are looking for.
I use this feature a lot, and I think you will too.
