Search Results Page
When you use the BridalTrack Header to search for a contact and there are zero or multiple matches in your database you will be shown this page. Here you can broaden your search to find more results, or choose the exact contact you were searching for from a list of contacts.
Example of Search Results Page

When you are signed onto your BridalTrack Database, at the top center of the BridalTrack Header is a blue input box with a button beside it that says "Find Contact". If you enter a last name or reference number that belongs to one and only one contact in your database, you will immediately be taken to their Contact's Data Page and bypass this page altogether.
Multiple Matches
When your search results in multiple matches you will be taken to this page which will list all those matches. Atop the page, in a blue box, the search criteria you used will be displayed. This acts as a way for you to reference the exact criteria you entered for the search. Below that is a paragraph that quickly describes how to use the page and how to refine your search if the contact you wanted is not listed.
Search Results Page, Multiple Matches
The contacts that match your criteria are laid out very similarly to the way the View List Page displays contacts. In alternating blue and white rows, a summary of your contacts data is displayed. Using this information you should be able to easily find the exact contact for whom you were searching.
Once you have determined the exact contact you wanted, click on the orange link labeled "View" that appears at the left of their row of data. You will be taken to their Contact's Data Page where you can view and edit all of their data.
No Matches
If no contacts meet the search value you submitted, then this page will show you the options you have. It will assist you in preparing a broader search, entering contacts into your database, or allowing you to view your entire list so that you can manually sort through it to find the contact you want.
Search Results Page, Broaden Search
Above are the options you will see when BridalTrack cannot find a specific match, but thinks that a broader search will be more fruitful. It then provides links to two searches that are more broad than the initial one you submitted. Essentially, it cuts off the last few letters of the name you entered and submits a new search for that text.
To perform either of those new searches, just click on the link in the blue box. BridalTrack will submit the new criteria to itself and treat it as a new search.
If your search is already pretty broad or you are looking for a reference number that can't be found, then you will be shown the below options:
Search Results Page, No Matches
When the search function fails to find a contact, you will either have to manually search through your entire list or enter the contact into your database. Clicking the "View Entire List" link will take you to the View List Page which will open to all of the contacts you have in your database. There you can use the filtering and sorting methods described in these instructions to facilitate your manual search.
If you believe that your contact is not in your database, you can add them. Click on the "Add Contact" link in the blue box and you will be taken to the Contact Entry Page where you can enter their data.
