AnyOrder has two ways of searching: Basic Search or Advanced Search.  The following describes Basic Searching.

The Basic Search feature is used to locate invoices - either by an invoice number or by a name, address, state or city.  It is reached by clicking on the "Search" button on the lower right of the Main Invoice Screen:

Or you can select GO TO from the Menu Bar and choose SEARCH. Two additional ways of accessing the Search Dialog box are to: 1) press Ctrl+S; or 2) press the right mouse button when the cursor is on the Invoice Screen and select "Search" from the Speed Menu.

The Search dialog box is shown below:

In the Search Dialog Box you can enter the invoice number of the invoice you are looking for--and if the invoice number exists, the proper invoice will appear.

You can also enter part or all of the billing name.  You can even enter part or all of a billing address, state or city.  The Search Dialog Box always searches first for any words that you've entered (and disregards the invoice number).  If there are no words entered, it will search for the indicated invoice number.

If you have entered a word to search for, and then decide to search for an invoice number, delete the word.  When the word area is blank, only invoice numbers will be searched.

The search feature is not case sensitive.  If you enter "The" as the search word, it will find invoices with "The" or "THE."

If you are doing a word search and the invoice that appears is not the one you want, you can repeat the search.  There are four ways to repeat the search:  1)click the "Repeat Search" button at the bottom of the invoice screen; 2) press Ctrl+R; 3) select GO TO and REPEAT SEARCH from the Menu Bar; or 4) press the right mouse button and choose "Repeat Search" from the Speed Menu.

If want to search forward--toward more recent invoices--click the "Repeat Search Forward" button at the bottom of the Invoice Screen, press Ctrl+F, or select GO TO and REPEAT SEARCH FORWARD from the Menu Bar.  If you want to search backward--toward older invoices--click the "Repeat Search Back" button at the bottom of the Invoice Screen, press Ctrl+B, or select GO TO and REPEAT SEARCH BACKWARDS from the Menu Bar.
