    In the lower left hand corner there is a magnifying glass.  One key up 
    and one key to the left there is a key with a solid shape on it.  I 
    think they call it a function key and it works like a shift/shift-lock 
    key.  Press it and then the magnifying glass.
    
    A bug in the 680 is that it does not search the current open app before 
    other apps.  That is frustrating.
    
    Going from a Palm to a Treo was a little bit frustrating for me and I 
    still don't think the interface is as natural as the Palm's.
