.-=FIND/SEARCH MENU=-
The search menu allows you to search the data base for Entries according to
six different methods. The search process uses a partial string search which
means that you do not have to enter the entire search string. Example, if you

or Digi, or Inter, etc.. This is true for each one of the six methods. The
NEW search uses your last call date from the Host BBS.
