When I use the "search contacts" (don't know how else to call it) box on top
of my inbox and calendar windows, I can pull up names with no problem.
However, for entries which only have a company name, and no first/last, the
search yields nothing. Any way to get it to find those entries?

Just to be clear, you're saying use advanced find, not that there's some
setting in there which will get me what I want, which is for that quick
search box to find it as default AFTER it searches names (in other words,
search the letters to see if name matches, then assume to check company.
That's not possible?

To search on other fields, use Advanced Find. That's what it's for.
