Search Methods
Search methods are used to find customers in the Customer Care screen. The user can set their preferences as to which search methods to use to lookup customers, and in which order they will appear. The user can also determine the description of the search method that will be shown. The program maintains one set of search methods per company. These are shared among all employees.
Fields
Field to Search
The field in the customer record to search for the data provided. Cannot be changed.
Description
The description to show the user for this search method.
 | Since the search methods are shown in a drop list, and are therefore accessible by pressing the first letter of the description, you should choose descriptions that each start with a different letter. This way, you can simply press that letter when on the drop list to choose the correct search method.

Check this box to require that the search entry field is entered with proper capitalization (e.g. John Doe, not JOHN DOE, or john doe). This will ensure more accurate searching for data that is stored in this manner.
Force upper case characters only on search entry field
Check this box to require that the search entry field is entered with upper capitalization (e.g. JOHN DOE, not John Doe, or john doe). This will ensure more accurate searching for data that is stored in this manner.
Do not display lookup list when search entry not found
Check this box to simply beep when a match is not made. Otherwise a list will appear displaying the closest match. This option is used for numerical searches, where a close match is not relevant.
Customer Statistics
