How to find information within the Data Entry of a return

The selector field (Enter Screen, State or Search Phrase), located at the bottom of the main data entry screen has been improved. Beginning in Drake17, this search field has been enhanced to not only locate any screen within the tax package, but now also be able to find any data entered on any screen.

For example, enter a screen name, dependent name, address, a dollar amount, or ID number - basically anything that has been entered within data entry - and then click Enter. The search results are displayed in a dialog box.
