Search in Referrals

Post by drtech » Sat Jul 23, 2011 5:19 am

svn beta 11.0.7

Being able to search in the Referral lists is great! In practice though it needs a tweak. If it would search to include anything *LIKE* the string instead of only if it starts with the string it would be much more useful. One character off and it doesn't work.

For example: all my common referrals have an "a" in front of them so they are at the top of the list and some have "Dr", some have "Dr." If any of these are different, you have to type it exactly like that to find them. I just want to be able to type the actual name of the Dr. and not care what is listed in front of it.

Thanks!

It's a non-issue for me. I enter everyone by last name first. I don't enter Dr. at all. I use the title field (DDS, MD, etc).

Just hit the search button without typing anything in first, then scroll through the list. Your a* entries should show up at the top.
