The Search function can locate any information from the details of a Member or information found in any cell in the contribution area. The Inventory, Staff, and Family Tree sections also include a Search function to locate any information. The ChurchReg main Search function only searches Member files for information. To search for Family Tree, Inventory, or Staff information use the Search function found in each of those procedures.

The drop-down search list appears when you click the down arrow in the search box. To clear the list of items press SHIFT+DELETE while the drop down list is opened. MATCHING CHARACTER CASE To search for an exact match including the character case, type in the search text and then check the MATCH CASE box. Click the FIND NEXT button and the search begins. SEARCH FOR THE WHOLE WORD To search for the whole word, type in the search text and then check the WHOLE WORD box. Click the FIND NEXT button and the search begins. For an example if you searched for the word Tim and the WHOLE WORD checkbox is checked, the search function will jump over the word Timothy and located only the exact word Tim. RESTART AT TOP If you want to restart Search at the top of the current Member file then check the RESTART AT TOP box. Normally when the search has located text at the bottom of the last line in the contribution area, search continues with the next Member. Use this feature when you want to go back to a search item found earlier in the current Member file. INCLUDE SEARCH IN CELLS If you want to speed up Search - you can bypass searching in the Contribution area by unchecking the INCLUDE CELLS box. Search will then examine only Member details and jump over all contribution cells. The INCLUDE CELLS checkbox stays unchecked when Password Protection is engaged. This prevents unauthorized individuals from searching Member financial information. CONTINUING A SEARCH To continue a search that has already begun, press F3 or select SEARCH | FIND NEXT from the ChurchReg menu. When search has reached the end of all Member files it continues from the first Member file until it reaches the point where the search began.
