How do I search?

The Search dialog is used to search for companies, restaurants, organization, etc. You can specify to search among any kind of place, or just among companies, nutrition places, etc. Also, it's possible to specify a filter so that only items that contain the given text will appear (you can use wildcards too). For example, to look for companies that contain "Tech" in its name, just type "*tech*" in the filter text. Note that the filter is case insensitive, so it doesn't matter if you type "*tech*" or "*TeCh*". If you want to look for companies whose name start with "Sh", just use "Sh*" as filter.

If you look for a particular type of place (Communication, for example), there may be many items in the list that you don't have interest in mixed with places that are more important (for example, when you're looking for a internet kiosk or a meeting room to meet with someone else from another company in private). In cases where you want to have a finer search, click on the Advanced Search button (the one with the suspension points), this will allow you to search for something specific for the current type used. As another example, The Advanced Search button for Toilets allows you to specify if you're looking for toilets with special access for disabled persons (in case you are disabled and don't want to bother going to the toilet to find that this one is not usable by you and you have to go somewhere else).

Note that when the search type doesn't contain subtypes (companies for example), the Advanced Search button will be disabled.

Once you're find what you're looking for, you can mark the places you're interested in (that way, they'll be shown highlighted in the map). Double-click on any item of the search list to see the information dialog for that item. In that dialog, you'll be presented with additional information.

It's also possible to search for people by selecting "People" from the Search Type combo box. in that case, the results columns will change to contain the name, charge within their company, and email address. When you double click on a person, the company information dialog for the company that person belongs to will appear.

Also, it's possible to look for presentations, in that case, a list of available presentations given by any company will be shown, together with the speaker who will give it, and the date and time at which it will start. Double click on any presentation to see the presentation information dialog.
