Tally enhances its existing table search feature for faster data entry, easy finding of ledgers, groups, stock item from a long list. It allows you to search an item from any part of the name and can search the products if you remember the number of stock quantity available.
Disadvantages of existing “begins with ‘search facility in tally
In existing search facility you must know the exact name of ledger or stock item or at least you should know the beginning of the ledger name. You can’t find out the ledger if you remember only a part of the name. Because the existing search feature uses the criteria “begins with”. For example to find out ledger ‘Vardhman Health Specialties’ You must type ‘Va ‘to highlight the ledger and words like like ‘health’ &, ‘specialties’ will not help you to find out the ledger in old search feature.
Benefits of new ‘contains’ search features
New search feature uses the criteria “contains”. It allows user to search from any part of the name. When you type a word; the list automatically reduces and display result that matches search criteria. For considering the above search when you type “Va” the list reduces and display the ledgers which contain “Va” from the below picture you can see all the legers displayed in new search contains “Va” somewhere in the name.
If you remember only a part of the ledger name say health, no issue type it the name will be in front.
Old Search New Search 1 New search2
Most people uses M/S in front of a Debtor/Creditor Name .In such cases it will be difficult if you forget that the salutation is typed with ledger name. In old search you must type M/S to find out the ledger. But new search feature allows you to find out the ledger with the name.
Another instance is that you remember the number of stock in hand of a particular product but you cannot remember the ledger name .here also new table search feature will give a hand to help you .Type the number of stock item. The list will display all items that have typed stock quantity.
