Finding contacts
You can perform a lookup that contains only the contact records you need. To perform a lookup:
  1. From the View menu, choose Lookup or tap the Lookup tool in the toolbar. The Lookup dialog box appears.
  2. In the Lookup field, type the word or phrase you want to find.
  3. In the Search On field, select the field in which you want to search for the specified text.

    Tip: If you are searching a large database, use one of the three fields at the top of the Search On list for the fastest lookup.

  4. Tap OK to search through the contact records in your database. ACT! displays the contact records that match your search criteria in the Contact view.

To clear the current lookup and view all contacts in your database, choose All Contacts from the View menu.
