Centro Search by Company Name

How can I search by company name on the Centro? I can "sort" by company but I haven't found out how to search for a specific company name. Of course I can search by the person's name, but I don't always remember the person.

Thank you for using the Palm Help Forums
Hit the black or white button on the bottom left next to the letters (A), (S) and (Z) keys. Then hit the button with the UP arrow and magnifying scope under the (Z) and (X) key. You should then see a prompt with a find; enter the company name and all the people who work at that company will show up.
I hope this works if not post back.

Using the O/S's Find function is NOT a decent answer or a fix for this problem. Only a very clumsy workaround.
See my message at this thread on this forum as to why it is such a bad way to have to do this.
Why can't Palm get this fixed? It should work the way it use to so that typing a company's name takes you to the company's record, EVEN IF YOU DO HAVE ENTRIES IN THE FIRST NAME OR LAST NAME FIELDS. This bug has existed going on over 3 years now.
There is no way this thread should be marked as solved, IMHO.

There is a option under contact edit area that allows you to add company name...
1. Open contact
2. Press left menu button
3. Select edit
4. Scroll down until you see Organization
5. Click little arrow to right and input information for comapany name..
6. Save
2) Be able to search on phone by company name?
1. Open Google Search
2. Press left menu button
3. Search Settings
4. Searchable Items
5. Check Contacts
After doing this you can search by voice with Google Search or while on home page or phone you can press and hold the left menu button until keyboard shows and then start typing name and it will search all search areas including contacts..
Thanks

Company Names excluded in searching Contacts in Phone App - Why?

Has anyone else had a problem with searching a company name through the Phone app Contacts search function? This seems like such a basic function to me, I was surprised. Calling for a cab, or local pharmacy shouldn't require Name Field be completed. It needs a fix for sure. Please advise if anyone knows if this is a bug, OS miss, or a unique issue with my Z10? Thanks!

Yes this is a known issue, as well as some other sorting and search issues within the contacts app. I have reported it, not sure if it made the bug list or not.
A work around for now is to use the universal search on the home page, it seems to search all of the fields. Then click the contact from there and choose how you wish to contact them by touching the options.

I would like sort my contacts by company name.

The only way sofar to do this, is create a new contact and enter the company name only and save it. Then edit and add your contacts First and Last name and save again. Example enter Apple in Company and save. Then edit and enter John Dow and save again. Now it will sort by company name. If you enter John Dow and Apple all at the first time it will sort by the person only. I cannot believe there is not a more efficient way to do this or an option that can be used. Any body has found a better way jet?!!

Yes you can "sort" by Company Name BUT....you cannot "search" by Company Name -- when you try a search it just keeps searching in the "name" fields and does NOT return a Company Name.
--if you know the name of the person you want to call (which you more than likely will) then searching by name is fine
but
--if you can't remember their name (or there are multiple names) but want to look up the company and then scroll through list of names at that company -- forget it -- I can't make it work.

Search ("filter") addresses by company name

I regret the possibility of searching a contact by company name (with Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290) is not available. Can I hope this feature (or a full text search) will be added in near future? Is there a better place to post a proposal than here?

I basically agree the E90 "features" can make you angry at times.
Like when you download an lmx GPS position file or open one from the phone and try to navigate but when using the lmx file the landmarks stored in the phone is not available.
Stupid things like that.
But with the barcode reader Nokia forgot to tell you it is not intended for ordinary one-line barcodes, but for 2D codes. And the use of 2D barcodes is unlimited.
2D barcodes can be put on business cards, websites, posters, T-shirts, labels, wall posts and much more.
Once you have the barcode in front of you, you can scan it with your mobile and obtain a text string.
The neat thing is if the text string is an URL the phone can download any web content as long as it understands the MIME type of data sent.
MIME type is supplied in the message HTTP header. (For most file types the web server supplies the correct MIME type. For Nokia landmark *.lmx it has to be added to the server config or sending web application)
It means your business card could have a 2D barcode with an URL leading to a vcard file on a web server where the phone fetches it and asks if you want to save it in your contact book of the phone.
You can use 2D-barcodes for downloading landmark *.lmx files from a web site by just pointng your camera to the web page and off you go to your destination using the built in GPS.
You can read more and create your own codes here:

Nokia has a server that delivers barcode images if you want to use them on a website.

NEED TO SEARCH BY COMPANY, NOT JUST BY NAME

I would love to use my apple software for contact management but you cant search the database by company, only name. For those of us with huge business databases this is entirely impractical. I am forced to use microsoft products rather than apple products for this reason. Hey Apple, give me this one littel concession so I can boot Microsoft completely!

First, which application are you talking about? (This is the mail & Address Book forum.)
Second, this is a user-to-user forum -- any Apple involvement is generally limited to moderating forum messages. Send feedback to Apple using the link available from the main Tiger support page: Apple - Support - Discussions - Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
Third, AFAIK both Mail & Address Book can be searched on any content, including company name. Spotlight can also search you entire hard drive for the same, with a few exceptions. So, it is hard to know what you mean by your comments.
Care to elaborate?

How do I change the way that my company name appears when googled?

How do I change the way that my company name appears when it is googled? Currently it only shows up as part of my company name followed by the website listed below and then the start of a description. I would like to make it so my entire company name show up as the title when searched. I used iWeb to create the site. Please Help! Thanks:)

Put the whole company name in the title tag...

Exchange Global Address List search not showing name or email

I have an iPhone and iPad connected to a Microsoft Exchange server at work. When I search the GAL for a person in the company, the results are shown as the Company only (data coming from the 'Company' field on the Exchange server) instead of the contact's name.
Here are the steps I'm taking:
- I go to Contacts app, select 'Groups', then select 'Global Address List'
- I type in a name of a person I'd like to email. For example I type John to search for all the Johns in the company.
- I get a seach result that lists anyone with John in their name. The problem is the search results list the company name instead of the user's/contact's name. (If the 'Company' field is blank in Outlook/Exchange, I CAN see the user's name).
So my search results for John look like this:
COMPANY
COMPANY
John Smith
Sarah Johnson
COMPANY
COMPANY
COMPANY
John Deer
COMPANY

There is software available that would give you support for GAL and some other SP2 features on a S60 phone. Check here: http://www.dataviz.com/products/roadsync/series60/index.html

N97 mini - Contact Sort Company, Name

Hello
my N97 mini is for Business use and I am using Mail for Exchange. Everything works perfect.
I synchronize Mails, Contacts, dates and tasks with Exchange.
In Exchange-Contacts are, along with other contact details, for me the important fields Name and Company.
When I synchronize, these fields are copied correct to the N97 mini .
In N97 mini i want to display Contacts in alphabetic order, using the fields Company, Name
I cant find settings to realize this
Can anybody help ?
Thanks

I find this part of my iPhone completely weird.
With my Treo running Agendus I could see all my Contacts by their company name and the contacts name alongside. If I did a search by name or company got a result.
However with 4000 contacts in my AB/iPhone searching for people by their names is difficult. For instance, living in Wales, where Jones, Jenkins, Evans, Davies etc are very common names I could have 20 people called David Jones but only 1 that works for ACME plumbing.
Also I may want to speak to three people from Acme Plumbing, but I can't remember their surname.
At the moment my solution to this is to create Groups in AB and split my contacts amongst these i.e zip codes, company sector etc. Also I use the App ABContacts which allows you to see the Contact Name under the Company name or vice versa.
This is the one area where I really do miss my Palm Treo/Agendus

How to change my company name in itunes connect?

I have uploaded my app in appstore but wants to chage its company name. I don't know how to change it. I read Apple document and it's saying that you can not but I must have to. If is there any possibility then please tell me. Thank you in advance.

Ah, after endless searching, this popped up in "More like this" right after I posted:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar> Select the email account with the issue and go into the Account Info area. In the Name field enter your full name.
Looks like it has to be changed locally on the phone. Thanks!

N97 How to sort contacts by company name

Is it possible to sort contacts by company name rather than first name,last name etc?

This is a HUGE shortcoming of Nokia's contacts app, which is still the most awkward and "old style numeric keypad telephone" oriented applications in the Nokia software suite on smartphones.
It's the only reason why I am still sometimes missing my Blackberry. There you find everything so quickly, and not only just typing in the individual's name, nor having to use that Nokia general search tool.
But now that Nokia FINALLY introduced a year ago "finding names typing", without launching the contacts application first I still have the hope that Nokia will release one day a REALLY user friendly, fast and flexible fully integrated agenda suite...

By Company name sorting ?

On a Nokia N82, is there any way (or software) for the contact manager to sort by company name ??
(my software is 20.0.062)
Thanks for help and advice

Yes, strange.
Knowing that most of the contact managers contains company names (and you use it to search a company, not a name - you know your insurance person ? - ).
Coming from SE (no regret though), I tought that some developper had made something to beef up the N serie OS for a pro usage (or for people with high number of company contacts).

Contact search by company.

Do someone now how to search in contacts by other than name or last. If I'm looking for some contact and don't remember the last or name, just the company name; How to find it?
Help will be appreciated!!!
Thanks

Correct. No one can help you because this is not supported on the iPhone.

Can I use a brand name for Company name on the appstore?

Hi!
Is it possible (allowed) to use a brand name instead of a Company name on the appstore?
We are a small IT company specializing in IT support. However, we have created a brand of iPhone apps for kids as well. We do not want our company name, which is well known and associated with something else in the IT world, to show up in the appstore. At least not as owner of the app (I guess app developer would be ok). Can we instead put in the "brand name" of our line of iPhone apps?
The company signing the contract with Apple will still be our registered, legal entity. It is just the name above the app name on the Appstore we want to different.
Thanks,
/patrick

Make up any company name you like, as long as you don't mislead, misrepresent and/or conflict with a copyright holder of record.
