In Address Book: When searching for contacts in both the filter or the advanced search, it only seems to search in a few fields, but not all fields like "organization" or "notes" or "work". In the advanced search you can choose which field to search in, but not all fields appear on the list of choices. Is there a setting that allows the quick search/filter in the address book to search in all fields of contacts?

There are several fields available if you start from Edit/Find/Search Addresses (see 1st picture), and even more if you install MoreFunctionsForAddressBook (2nd picture). The add-on also provides more fields in the quick search/filter in Address Book (3rd picture).
