Find names in the Address Book

In the Find a contact box on the Standard toolbar, type the name of the contact you want to find. Microsoft Outlook will search all the available address books, including any you have added.
You can enter a partial name (such as Judy L), first or last name, "display as" name, e-mail alias, and company name. To quickly open a contact you have previously searched for, click the Find a contact arrow, and then click a name.

On the Tools menu, click Address Book.
In the Show names from the list, click the address book you want to search for names.
In the Address Book dialog box, on the Tools menu, click Find, and then type the name for which you are searching.

Notes

Depending on the address book you select from the Show names from the list, you can type additional search information in the Find dialog box, such as the person's alias or department name.
If you are searching an LDAP Internet Directory for an e-mail address, you have the option of searching for a name by what character the name begins with or by what characters the name contains. Click either Begins with or Contains.
