Like others, not being able to search all frequently used fields (i.e. Notes)
via instant find is a major oversight by Microsoft. Thanks to rhodes2010 I
can now use the advanced find to search for keywords in the notes field of
all contacts.

Personally I like instant find. However, it definitely needs to be brought
up to speed to at least previous Outlook functionality.

I found the ability to secifically search the Notes field.
Clicked the contacts folder, went to tools - find - advanced find.
Went to the Advanced Tab ,
Then at the bottom of the screen is a Field button that produces a Pull -Down
menu - the first choice is Frequently Used Fields.

On this list, way down, is the Notes field.
Looks like to the right after choosing Notes is a Value field.
I assume you put your search criteria in there.

In previous version of Outlook/Contacts, I could do a "Find" and it would
pull up the contacts that contained the word I was looking for...the word may
have been anywhere within the contact's information (i.e. description, notes,
etc.). In this updated version, the "Find" function does not look into the
notes section. How can I "Find" a particular word that is embedded within a
contact?
