A very simple problem with a simple answer (I hope).

I have entered a contact, and searching by surname does not find the contact. It is most definitely there when I list all contacts. All obvious things have been checked, but I'm concerned that other contacts are not being found in searches.

Any ideas?

Have never had problems with the Search > Last Name and we use Max 7 a lot. Of course, you need to ensure the selections are set correctly for Individuals vs Contacts, Replace/Narrow/Add List options, etc. If you're using the Search > All Fields, you may also have to see if the All/Any conditions are being met correctly. Other than that, the actual entry of the name is pretty fogiving, and I haven't even found the use of wild cards to be required in most cases, and case sensitivity is also not a huge factor. If you've checked all these and it still doesn't work, perhaops you can provide more details - the spelling of the name you're looking for, which search you're using, the settings for each selection criteria, etc.

Re-entered contact and it now works.

Incidentally, I listed the whole Address Book and got a couple of ID's that could not be found. I found and deleted these records - maybe this was the source of the problem.

Have you ever found that if you do a notes search and use 'all dates', that this returns a different result to selecting between dates of say something in 1923 and the current date?
