The Addressbook Lookup screen will look something like this:-

The addressbook screen has three areas:

Search Dialogue

The search dialogue allows you to make another search. It works in exactly the same way as the search dialogue on the main addressbook screen. Cancel search will cancel the current addressbook search and return you to the addressbook screen.

Search __SERVICE__ Users searches for local users on the __SERVICE__ system. The search is made against the initial registered name of each user (of the form "A.N. Other") and also against the fullname which can be set using this Webmail interface. Please note: the local search database only stores limited numbers of results. Queries that would return large numbers of results (e.g: Smith) will typically return no results and an explanation to this effect. It is also possible to search for details on a particular __SERVICE__ username or for usernames which match a given set of initials.

Search Directory searches the University Directory. The results will be more comprehensive than the local search database, but does not contain information about recently cancelled accounts.

Top and bottom bars

These have a group of common elements at the left and right hand sides of the bar, and a unique element in the centre.

Top bar, unique element

Search Results (1 entry)

This provides a summary of the results

Bottom bar, unique element

Page: /1

The search results are presented as a series of pages. The number of entries on each page is set in Manage -> Preferences -> Display. This element shows the current page number and the total number of pages. To change to another page in your addressbook enter the number in the Page: box and then select Go

Common elements

The four icons, First Previous Next Last, take you to, respectively, the first, previous, next and last page of addresses. An icon is greyed out, as in the example screen on this page, if the choice is not applicable (in the example there is only one page of addresses).

Search results

Each search result appears on a separate line.
