<para>
To find a specific person, click the find icon (green magnifying glass), or go
to <GUIMenu>Contact</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Find</GUIMenuItem>. A dialog
will pop up, and in the "Find what" input, enter the string you want to search
for. You can also select if you want the search to be case sensative, and if you
want it to search backwards from the currently selected user. The Category drop
down menu lets you search only a specific category ("All" to search all of
them). When you click "Find", it will start search for the string in all the
fields in all the contacts. When it finds a match, it will highlight the user in
the main view. You can use this to search for (as an example) who a certain
phone number belongs to, by entering the phone number in the "find what" field,
and clicking "Find".

<section><title>Viewing Contacts</title>
<para>
To view only the contacts in a certain category, go to the View menu, and check
the categories you want to view.

<para>
The list of letters on the bottom of the window lets you look at only the
contacts who's names begin with that letter. These work much like entering text
on a mobile phone. For example, to view all the contacts whos name starts with
"B", press the "ABC" group twice (since "B" is the second letter in that
group). To go back to displaying all of the letters, click it two more times
(pressing it four times brings you back to all the letters, so you pressed it 2
times to get to "B" and 2 more times to get back to all letters. 2+2=4).

+(see <xref linkend=irda>). Once this is done, you can select the contact you would like to beam, and press the
+beam icon in the toolbar, or select Contact&arrow;Beam Entry. Opie will then send the contact using the IrDA and
