Using The Quick Search Feature; Entering Password Information For Quick Search - Cisco IP Communicator User Manual

Using the Quick Search Feature

Quick Search allows you to search one or more directories with a single search command. These
directories can include multiple corporate directories and your personal address book, depending on
how your system administrator configured the Quick Search feature.
To access Quick Search, right-click on Cisco IP Communicator and choose Quick Search or enter the
keyboard shortcut (Alt + K).
In the Quick Search window, enter a name or extension number, then click Quick Dial or Search:
• Quick Dial—Automatically dials when the search yields one match. (You still need to click the
Dial softkey to place the call). If the search yields multiple matches, Quick Dial displays them.
• Search—Displays search results without automatically dialing a number.
To place a call from search results, click a listing in the Quick Search window, then click the Dial
softkey on Cisco IP Communicator.
See the "Entering Password Information for Quick Search" section on page 53 for more information.

Entering Password Information for Quick Search

Depending on how you want to use Quick Search, you might need to enter credential information,
including a user name and password:
Searching a corporate directory
If you do not use the Personal Address Book service and will use Quick Search to look up co-workers
in the corporate directory only, you may not need to take any configuration steps. Test this by
choosing Quick Search from the right-click menu or by entering Alt + K:
• If Quick Search opens, no configuration is necessary on your part.
• If Quick Search does not open, you need to enter a username and password in the Directories
window of the Preferences dialog box (right-click > Preferences > Directories). Ask your system
administrator to provide you with the values to enter.
Searching your Personal Address Book
If you use the Personal Address Book (PAB) service, Quick Search can look for matches in your PAB
first and in your corporate directory second. Before Quick Search will access your PAB, however, the
following conditions must be met:
• Your system administrator must configure Quick Search to integrate with personal directories.
• You must subscribe to the PAB service from the Cisco CallManager User Options web pages.
• Your Cisco CallManager username must appear in the User window (Preferences > User).
• You must enter your Directories username and password (Preferences > Directories).
