╙┼┴╥├╚ ALLOWS YOU TO SEARCH FOR RECORDS ON FOUR FIELDS: ╬AME,
╙TATE/├ITY, ┌IP ├ODE AND ╦EY. ╙ELECT THE FIELD FROM THE PULL-DOWN MENU. ┴
DIALOGUE BOX WILL THEN REQUEST IF YOU WANT TO RETRIEVE ALL OF THE RECORDS
ON THE DISK. ╘YPE "┘" TO DO SO, OR "╬" IF YOU WANT TO DO A DETAILED SEARCH.
╔F YOU CHOOSE TO DO A SEARCH, AN INPUT WINDOW WILL APPEAR THAT CAN
ACCEPT UP TO TEN "SEARCH IMAGES." ┼NTER THE INFORMATION YOU WANT TO SEARCH
FOR, ONE ITEM ON EACH LINE. ╘HE INFORMATION MUST BE TYPED IN THE FOLLOWING
FORMAT FOR EACH FIELD:
╬┴═┼ = ╠ASTNAME ╞IRSTNAME
╙╘┴╘┼/├╔╘┘ = ╙╘ ├ITY
┌╔╨ ├╧─┼ = ┌IP ├ODE
╦┼┘ = ╦EY
┴ SPACE MUST BE USED AS A SEPARATER IN THE FIRST TWO FIELDS.& ╞OR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WERE SEARCHING FOR "╩OHN ╙MITH," YOU WOULD FIRST
SELECT THE "╬AME" FIELD FROM THE PULL-DOWN MENU, THEN ENTER "╙MITH ╩OHN" AS
A SEARCH IMAGE. ╙IMILARLY, TO FIND "╘EXARKANA, ╘╪" YOU WOULD SELECT
"╙TATE/├ITY" AS THE SEARCH FIELD, THEN ENTER "╘╪ ╘EXARKANA" AS THE SEARCH
IMAGE. ╘HE "┌IP ├ODE" FIELD REQUIRES ONLY THAT YOU ENTER THE ZIP CODE, AND
THE "╦EY" FIELD REQUIRES ONLY THE DESIRED KEY.
┴NY SEARCH IMAGE THAT ENDS WITH AN ASTERISK ("*") IS A WILDCARD THAT
WILL MATCH ANY ITEM WHOSE FIRST FEW CHARACTERS MATCH THOSE CHARACTERS UP
TO, BUT NOT INCLUDING, THE ASTERISK IN THE SEARCH IMAGE. ╞OR EXAMPLE, IF
"╙MITH*" IS ENTERED AS A SEARCH IMAGE IN THE "╬AME" FIELD, IT WILL MATCH
ALL THOSE NAMES ON THE DISK WHOSE LAST NAMES BEGIN WITH "╙MITH". ╫ILDCARDS
SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH THE "╦EY" SEARCH FIELD.
╙EARCH IMAGES MAY BE A MAXIMUM 34 CHARACTERS LONG. ╨RESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ ON A
BLANK LINE TO QUIT ENTERING SEARCH IMAGES IN THE INPUT WINDOW. ╘HE SEARCH
MAY TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS, AFTER WHICH A DIALOGUE BOX WILL REPORT THE NUMBER
OF MATCHES FOUND. ╙ELECT ╓╔┼╫ FROM THE MAIN MENU TO SEE THEM. ┘OU MAY ALSO
SELECT ╙╧╥╘ BEFORE VIEWING THEM.#
