Improving Outlook Advanced Find feature

[lurk&jerk]

Maddenly, advanced find in Outlook Contacts defaults to "Search in File as Field Only" which is usless for my needs. I need a more global search similar to what is offered when you choose ""Frequently Used Text Fields"". However, it is a pain to constantly have to select from the drop down list in Outlook Contacts. As a work around, I saved a blank search to a new "".oss"" file with the ""Frequently Used Text Fields"". selected and customized the toolbar with a new link to the saved .oss file. Since the hotkey Alt+F is taken I renamed the tool button Finde&r to use Alt-R. However, this seems kind of Klutzy and I was wondering if there is an easier way to search all text fields in Contacts with an toolbar icon or hotkey.
