Universal Search

Universal Search

Introduced with version 5.26, the Universal Search function allows you to search across several fields in Silent Partner Desktop, such as name, address and email fields.

Hold the Shift and CTRL keys down, and then click K to bring up the Universal Search window.


Type in the text you are looking for and click Search.


Silent Partner will find any records with that text in an address, name or email field. In the example below, the text "penny" appears in the donors' email addresses.
