Any good find function softwares ?

[plainman007]

Hi,

Can you guys suggest a good find function enhancer.
Like intelligent find.
I mainly want to be able to search for parts of names and for multiple strings.
For example i have 10 smith contacts. But i know the smith im looking for is an electrician. Is there something which can search for smith and electrician and show records which contain both words only ?
I had 1 such software on my T3 and forgot if it was intelligent find or something else.
Any free software out there that can do this ?

Thanks.

Not 1 reply ???
Is this forum alive ?

Anyway ill post the answers myself for the benefit of some other poor soul who might want to know. Of the few products i searched and tried. Intelligent Find seems to be the best. It does search for multiple keywords as google does and is incredibly useful if you have a lot of data that has many similar records with similar names etc. My phone book has 1800 records. I dont know if im the only one with so many telephone records but this find program solved the issue of finding the correct people i want to reach.

....quite heavy if you believe my wife.

Probably due to the huge mustache in your avatar!!

Hope all is well and that you have a great holiday season plunker!

BTW...I always found the built-in global search to be more than sufficient in the Treo. I only had 700-800 contacts, but believe it or not, only a few Smiths....

Hey wish you guys happy holidays. I didnt know the christmas hols kick off quite soon in your part of the globe.

Steve, the smith thing was only an example, lol. I had a lot of trouble locating a particular persons info from contacts because many similar names would turn up. The function of just being able to search for 1 word is so limited. I can now search for a specific memo which has keywords that i remembered but were spread thruout the memo. You have just 700 records ??. I guess then im one whos really using the treo to the max of its abilities rather than doing injustice by just using it as a phone.

Hi Zach, Welcome to the forum.
Seasons Greetings to you too.

Who is Zach?? Merry Christmas guys hope you find great deals for your Christmas gifts..

BTW when you search on the treo first letter entered is last name and you can enter another letter for first name to refine your search. You probably all ready know that but you may be able to change the contact with 1st name company etc... and you have the option to search by company name...
