SYMPTOMS
When you use the Find tool in Contacts to search for some character
strings, Find opens every entry for which the address field has been
edited, even if the character string you search for does not seem to occur
in that entry.
CAUSE
The Find tool may find a character string match in the Country box, which
is included in the Address field of each entry.
If you edit the Address field for an entry, the Find tool includes the
text in the Country box when searching for a character string. If you do
not edit an entry's address field, the Find tool does not include the
Country box when searching for a character string.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
To view the Country box, tap the Address field, and then tap the button
to the right of the Address field.
