Find a Contact behavior

[Gerhard Fiedler]

I have Outlook 2002, with a connection to an account on an Exchange
server (usually in offline mode).

I have two major troubles with the Find a Contact field in the
toolbar.

1) We have a company address book (an Exchange public folder), to
which I have read-only access. Whenever I need to work with a contact,
I copy it into my own Contacts folder, because I'm not allowed to add
personal notes or reminders on the contact in the company address
book. But when I do a search from the Find a Contact field, I get two
hits, and both look exactly the same. I don't know which one is the
one in my own Contacts folder.

Is there a way to make the folder name appear in the selection dialog
that appears for multiple hits? Or any other solution?


2) I seem not to understand the way the Find a Contact search works.
My impression is that
- it looks at the Full Name field
- it looks at the Company field only if there is something in the Full
Name field
- it never looks at the File As field.

Did I get this right? Is there a way to make it match on Company even
if the Full Name is empty? And match on File As, too?

Thanks for any help.
