Contacts List Window : Find Patient
CTRL - F (Control key and F simultaneously)
This will bring up the find function. If you're on the Contact list it will bring up a little "Find" window that you can type the name you are looking for.
Press enter and the cursor will be located at that name on the contact list, or near to it if that name doesn't exist. This is really useful for slow typists who have trouble with the incremental search, or old (slow) computers where the incremental search doesn't seem to want to work.

If you are in a text area of a Clinical Notes form it will also bring up a standard window search dialogue. The form where this is most useful is clinician - especially for searching old notes for particular consultations.
