Searching For Email Yields No Found Records

[GisMo]

I feel like I'm totally missing something here...I'm searching for an email address in a contact layout. 

 

Manual Steps:

I look at a single contact record, copy the email, enter find mode, paste the email in the email field, press enter. 0 found records. I should have at least one found record.

 

Alternatively, I've setup a table relationship to do a similar thing by connecting email and it seems to work to, but I need the search to work...(It must be something simple that I'm overlooking.)

 

Thanks

Resolved. I need to substite or replace the "@" for a space and the search works. @ is reserved for finds(I don't I've ever used it before).

You can use the escape character on an operator which makes it text so your find would look like clifford@nakao.com or quotes clifford”@"nakao.com

Thanks for pointing that out...I use that all the time for using literal quotes (") with SQL statements.
