I have the same problem with searching contacts in Entourage - I have
the latest update for Entourage (2004 11.3.3). When I use the Find
command it misses contacts that i can see in my contacts when i do a
manual search.
I also find it very strange that I can find some contacts when i put my
pointer in the contacts and start typing the contact - but I can't find
others. Some of the contacts seem to migrate to the top of the field
regardless of spelling - even when i try sort them alphabetically (it
seems to be the latest accessed contacts - but not always).
What is going wrong with this program?
