Partial Match
This works for strings only. The program accepts wildcards. For example,
if you want to search for all e-mail addresses from both gatecomm.com
and gatecomm.net domains, enter this value in the Find text box: *@gatecomm.*
This options returns results if a portion of the string specified in
the Find dialog matches a portion in the database. An example of this
is specifying Eng* in the Find dialog and returning "Engine"
and "England".
Soundex
Match only if the string sounds like one in the database. An example
of this is specifying "Skool" and returning "School".
This works for strings only. Note: you can press the ESC key during an
