To find a record in one of the category list views, first switch to the appropriate category that provides the list of the desired records: People, Sources, Places, or Media. Select a line in the list to gain focus and then start typing the name of a person or the title of a Source, Place, or Media object that you are looking for, respectively. Alternatively select a line in the list to gain focus and then you may press {{man key press|CTRL|F}} to turn on the search mode, but simply starting to type is also enough.

Alternatively, select a line in the list to gain focus and then you may press {{man key press|CTRL|F}} to turn on the search mode textbox. However, simply starting to type is also enough to both open the box and start entering the search term. As you type, the first matching record in the sort column of the list that is compatible with your input will scroll to the center of the list and be selected.As you type more characters, the match will be refined. As long as the search mode text box is visible, pressing the {{man key press|⬇}} down arrow cursor key will move to the next match while pressing the {{man key press| ⬆}} up arrow cursor control key will move to the previous match. The box disappears after it is idle. (When there have been no keystrokes for between 5 and 15 seconds.) Without the Find box active, the cursor control keys revert to moving the records selection up and down the list. Changing the sort column (by clicking on the header) also changes the column being matched.
