Filtering the Address Book
The entries in an address book group can be filtered to display only the entries (participants
or groups) that meet criteria that you specify and hides entries that you do not want
displayed. It enables you to select and work with a subset of Address Book entries.
You can filter by more than one column, by adding additional filters (columns).
The filter applies to the displayed group. If All Participants option is selected, it applies to all
the listed participants.
Filtering can be done using:
• A predefined pattern
• Customized pattern
When you use the Find dialog box to search filtered data, only the data that is displayed is
searched; data that is not displayed is not searched. To search all the data, clear all filters.
