Searching columns

[Andrew Abernathy]

Charlie-

Find does work in multiple columns, but unfortunately, only in rich- 
text columns. In the example you gave, the "Owner" column is of type  
"Pop-up List." If you change the column type to "Rich Text" and try  
searching for "Lisa" again, it will find all the occurrences of Lisa.  
This is a shortcoming we definitely plan to address, but I can't make  
any promises on just when it's expected to happen, sorry.
