For example, when looking up a membership number, you might want to find Jane Smith. Move to
the first item in the list by pressing SPACE or ADVANCE, and KeyBase prompts:
"First Name?".
Type "Jane" and move to the next field by pressing READ with O. KeyBase will prompt:
"Last name?". Type "smith" and start the search by pressing ENTER. The first "Jane Smith" will
be displayed. If necessary, cycle through the other "Jane Smith's" by pressing RIGHT ARROW,
until you locate the one you require. To find the correct "Jane Smith", review the fields by pressing
the initial letter for the field name. For example, D for "Date Joined".
"Last name?". Type "smith" and start the search by pressing ENTER. The first "Jane Smith" will
be displayed. If necessary, cycle through the other "Jane Smith's" by pressing RIGHT ARROW,
until you locate the one you require. To find the correct "Jane Smith", review the fields by pressing
the initial letter for the field name. For example, D for "Date Joined".
For string fields, you need only type the first few characters in a field rather than the whole field.
For example, if you just type S in the "Last Name" field, you are able to access the records of all
people whose last names begin with S.

You can search for all members who fall into the senior membership category. At the selection list,
don't specify a last name, but press SPACE repeatedly until the prompt:
"Membership category?" is displayed and then type "senior" and press ENTER. You can then use
RIGHT ARROW to move through all the members who are senior members of the Blind Cricket
Club.

You can also search for a name fragment within a field, using the multi-character wild card for the
unknown first part. For example, you may remember a members' postal address as: "Something
View Road". If you press *, followed by "View" in the address line 1 field, you should have a very
short list of records to review.

Any fields used in a Lookup will be offered as a suggestion for the next search, unless you exit to
the KeyBase Menu between searches. You may want to clear a previously-used field so it is not
used in the next search. To do this, move to the required field using SPACE or BACKSPACE and
press the Clear Field command, CONTROL with BACKSPACE.

Note: numbers are matched identically, so that 42 will match with 42, but not with 39.9.
Conversely, dates and times will be matched regardless of how they are entered. For example,
11.00p.m. will match with 23.00.
