RE: [LegacyUG] Search information in Notes
You can use Search -> Find In the Where to Search you can select any one of the note fields Under How to Look, select Contains Under What to Look For enter your search string I don’t think it will take it in the form you showed. If you just enter it as Grange Farm, it will look for that phrase. If you want it to look for Grange and Farm as separate words, you’ll need look just for Grange, click the And option and set up the second condition to look for Farm. Otherwise, you can use the 2nd and 3rd conditions, with the Or option, to search up to 3 different Note fields at one time. On the Where to Look list, most of the Note fields are grouped together, but the one for Event-Notes which applies to custom events, is listed separately further down on the list.

This topic probably will be covered in due course, but I don't think the videos for Legacy 8 are ready yet. If you open Help, you will see "Tutorial" on the right-hand side. Click "Tutorial Lessons" and scroll down to the exercise "How to search for individuals" under the Intermediate heading. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

RE: [LegacyUG] Search information in Notes
Hi Jenny Thanks for your help and guidance. I now understand that there is no global search facility across all database fields. Can you give me some guidance as to how to search the notes fields please. Is there a video guide on this? I have looked at the search facilities but cannot see how to do the search.

Do you mean that "Grange Farm" might be within any of the 6 Notes fields? Unfortunately, Legacy can only search on 3 criteria at a time so to cover all the Notes fields you would need to Search twice. There isn't a global Search which searches every field in the database. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
