Tips on Viewing Search Results

These tips can help you view Find tab search results.

• To make it easier to view a long list of search results, increase the height of

the tab by dragging the top of the tab area up or by clicking the increase (up)
tab height arrow

at the top of the tab.

• To sort results by another column, click the column header. An arrow

identifies the sort column. Click a second time to reverse the sort order.
Note
This feature is not available when in browse mode; see last item in this

list.

• To copy the information for the selected item or items, press CTRL+C on your

keyboard. You can then paste the text into another program, such as a word

processing program.

• Right-click an item in the results list to display the following options:

ƒ Copy to Clipboard–Copies the detailed information for the selected

item or items and is available for pasting into another program.

ƒ Go To–Centers the map on the selected item.
ƒ Select All–Selects all items in the list and highlights up to 350 on the

map. If you right-click again with all items selected, you can select
Copy to Clipboard; point to Add and then click MapTag, MapNote,
Detailed MapNote, Address Book Entry, or Waypoint; or point to

Route and click Insert Stop. You must have the MapTags checkbox
on the Find tab selected to add a MapTag.

ƒ Add–Adds a MapTag, MapNote, Detailed MapNote, Address Book

Entry, or Waypoint for the selected item or items. You must have the

MapTags checkbox on the Find tab selected to add a MapTag.

ƒ Route–Places a start, stop, or finish point at that location on the map

based on your selection. The location is listed in the Start text box,
Stop text box, or Finish text box in the Route tab.

• To locate an item on the map without moving the map, single click an item in

the results list. It is highlighted on the map as long as it is in the current map
view. This is especially helpful when you are at the data zoom level you want

but point labels are not displaying.
Notes
To select multiple items, press and hold the CTRL key while clicking

up to 350 items in the results list. If the items are listed continuously, click
the first item in the list and then press and hold the SHIFT key while clicking

the last item you want.

• You can adjust column widths. The new size is retained until changed again.

You cannot rearrange the column order. Different search types result in

different column orders.
