Another option would be to use TapBar, which has two options (you can
get TapBar at UNNA, I would assume). Install TapBar, (the core program
and the setup program) and install the following buttons (there are
other useful ones, too).
<http://www.unna.org/unna/utilites/menus/TapBar/>
1. FastAccess. This one lets you write a word, and will search your
Names soup for examples of wherever your cursor is located. If I write
"green" in Notes and tap FastAccess, it gives me the Greens that I know,
plus everyone I know who lives in Greensboro NC. It's very fast
2. Names Button. This one provides a little text box in which you can
write the first few letters of someone's last name, and it will open
Names to that entry. Of course, if you've got several Wittmann names, it
doesn't really help, but for the individual ones, it works fine.
I love TapBar, couldn't imagine having my Newt without it. There are a
ton of other buttons you can use, check it out. Wasn't there a site that
focused on TapBar a while back? Lost the URL in a move, anyone have more
info?
