Does anyone else have the problem that if you don't get everything perfect while searching for a customer you will get no results? For example, a customer may have a dash between the company name but if you don't put it there will be no found results. It is not only that, you shouldn't have to type the entire name for results to show but the search is outdated. I also hate the way after you type a name you have to use your mousse instead of enter...what a waste of time. And yes, I have preferences set up correctly.
