Recently was running TB 24.2 under Ubuntu 12.4. All ran great, except could not search the Notes field in my address book. Got help from this forum and installed MoreFunctionsForAddressBook. This made the Notes field available for searching in the Quick Search window and in the Advanced Address Book Search dialog box (Edit > Search Addresses). Problem solved!

Now have upgraded to TB 31.2.0. Quick Search window still works fine, including searching the Notes field. However, the Notes field is no longer listed in the Advanced Address Book Search, AND the Advanced Address Book Search does not work at all. I get zero results for any search on any field.

Is the Advanced Address Book Search broken in TB 31.2.0? If not, any ideas on what I might have set up wrong to keep it from functioning? Any diagnostic I could run?

Also, does MoreFunctionsForAddressBook no longer add fields to the Advanced search?

I have worked on this for hours, with no luck. Suggestions are welcomed.

I'm using Windows Vista. I'm using TB version 31.2.0 I'm also using 'MoreFunctionsforAddressBook' version 0.7.1

In Address Book my search offers same advanced list including Notes etc.

Check: Are you using the most up to date version...0.7.1  ?

Toad-Hall ---- Thanks very much!!! I completely missed the new version of the plug-in. I upgraded TB to v 31 and wasn't bright enough to think about the add-on compatibility.

With MoreFunctions 0.7.1, my Advanced Search (Edit > Search Addresses) now has a lengthy list of search-field choices, including the Notes field. This is a life saver for me, since that's where all my keywords are.

You really bailed me out on this one! Many thanks.
