I've imported all my contacts into Thunderbird Address book. Included in the imported contact info is data in the "Notes" section. I need to be able to search the Thunderbird Address Book, based on key words that are in the Notes section.

The search bar in the Address Book apparently only searches for Name or Email. Is there a way to search for and retrieve all contacts with data from the "Notes" section?

For example: If I have in the "Notes" data something like this " Met in Atlanta Georgia at conference", I need to search for all contacts that have "Atlanta" in the notes.

Searching from Edit/Find/Search Addresses... includes more fields, but not Notes. The CardBook add-on does allow searching on Notes, and it can import existing TB address books.

Excellent answer, this solved the problem, and taught me another way to search. Well done, thanks.
