How can I find contacts or Internet email addresses?
You can search your Contacts (Notes® application directories on Domino® servers), or Internet directories for contact names or Internet email addresses. Once you find a contact name (except for in an Internet directory), you can view detailed information about the contact, and add it to your Contacts list.

Procedure
To find Internet email addresses or other data in Internet directories
About this task
If your organization gives you access to the Internet through Notes, you can search Internet directories for email addresses of people whose names you know. By default, Notes includes accounts for two Internet directories: BigFoot and Verisign. If the Internet directory you use includes more information, you may also be able to determine a person's company, city, phone number, and so on.
Internet directories may also include other data, such as group names, printer names, or even applications. You can perform conditional searches on directories.
When the search completes, matches to your search, if any, are returned listed in a dialog box. For example, if you search for Pat Wilkins, depending how many exist in the directory, you may receive multiple entries that include full names or perhaps consist of just an email address, like this:
Pat Wilkins (wilkins@company1.com)
Patricia M Wilkins (p_wilkins@company2.com)
Patty Wilkinson (patty@company3.com)
pat_wilkins@company4.com
To use an Internet directory that's not provided in your Contacts list by default (several are), you must create an account for the directory.
