In-Depth Information
Figure 2-7. The Find pop-up menu appears when you hold down the mouse button on the Find icon
instead of clicking it. The menu gives you an easy way to manage finds that you have to perform re-
peatedly. Although you can't see the name of the field (or fields) you've searched in the Recent
Finds section of the menu, each item gives you as much data as it can, but you have to rely on your
memory for the field(s) the search refers to. If it's all too confusing, or your list is out-of-date, the
Clear All Recent Finds command lets you start from scratch.
