Searching for contacts
You can search for contacts in the Contacts workspace using the Search field above the contact list. You can use search terms to refine your searches to a specific category, company, city, or list.
You can search for a specific contact or user using the formats last name
, first name
and first name last name
. You can also enter partial names, or even just a few letters, and the search returns any contacts whose names contain the search text.
Info
If you enter only one search term when searching for a contact or user, the application searches by last name.
Search for a set of contacts by adding additional search terms:
- Category search:
+"<category name>"
. - Company search:
@"<company name>".
- City search:
city:"<city name>".
- Saved contact list search:
list:"<list name>"
.
Info
If the category, company, city name, or list name is one word, quotation marks may be omitted, for example city:Toronto
. However, if the name contains more than one search term, quotation marks must be included, for example, @"NexJ Systems"
.
You can combine the preceding search formats to create specific searches, for example:
j smith @"NexJ Systems"
JOHN SMITH city:Toronto
sm, j
city:Toronto

Viewing contacts in the relationship hierarchy
The relationship hierarchy displays a contact's relationships with other contacts using a tree-type view. You can view profile details for a contact, household, user, or company in a contact's relationship hierarchy.

You can use the hierarchy to do the following:
- Navigate between contacts in a hierarchy.
