\"Find<\/a><\/p>\n

One of your ancestors fought alongside Davy Crockett at the Alamo, and you’ve entered that information into your RootsMagic database. \u00a0Unfortunately you don’t remember which ancestor it was, or how to easily find him. \u00a0Luckily, RootsMagic makes it easy to find anything, anywhere<\/strong> in your database with Find Everywhere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Find Everywhere does exactly what it sounds like. \u00a0You enter some text, and RootsMagic will display a list of everywhere in your database that text is found: people, names, places, notes, sources, citations, media, to-do items, research logs, and more. \u00a0Just do Search > Find Everywhere<\/strong> from the RootsMagic menu and the following form will open.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"2014-08-07_20-50-39\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can search for a single word or phrase by just typing it into the first field. \u00a0Or you can search for a combination of words \/ phrases by entering them into separate fields and using the And\/Or options. \u00a0You can also choose whether you want the results to match by case also. \u00a0For example, if you mark “Match case”, then “Smith” and “smith” will not match.<\/p>\n

Click OK and RootsMagic will return a list of every place your desired text is found (in our example, the word “smith”). \u00a0Here we can see that it found a number of people with the name smith, whether 1) as a given name, or 2) as a surname. \u00a0It will also show you if any person notes have the word “smith” in them also.<\/p>\n

\"2014-08-07_20-51-06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0As we scroll down the list we can see that Find Everywhere returned sources with the word “smith” in them as well. \u00a0It doesn’t matter if the desired text is in the name, footnote, bibliography, research notes, etc., RootsMagic will find it.<\/p>\n

\"2014-08-07_20-52-30\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Scroll down even more and we see 4) places, 5) place details, 6) to-do items, 7) research logs, and 8) media items with the desired text.<\/p>\n

\"2014-08-07_20-52-52\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0And best of all, notice how every result has a blue title. \u00a0That title is a link you can click on to directly edit that piece of information directly from the Find Everywhere results. \u00a0And of course you can also print or save the results using those buttons on the results page.<\/p>\n

So the next time you can’t remember where you put that little tidbit about an ancestor, let <\/span>Find Everywhere<\/strong> do the dirty work for you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
