Hi Tom,
You can't do a global search in Legacy.
You can export a gedcom (which is just a plain text file in a special
format), open it in Notepad or a word processor and search in that.
Cheers,
Cathy

Something that's always bothered me. I'm trying to find which family has
the location named 'Bowning' attached to it in some way, a way which I can
not remember, and it's not necessarily in the location field. I know
that name is mentioned somewhere in my database but where...?
Is there any way to 'globally' search for a word, with out going through
numerous 'fields' with numerous searches?
I've never been able to figure that one out.
Regards
Tom
