# Search for a Vendor

Search across all locations for a vendor. This is especially useful if you manage multiple child care locations and need to determine the locations that use this vendor.

## Getting There

From the *Procare Hom*e screen go to *Utilities > Search All Locations > Vendor Search.*

## Search for a Vendor

1. From the *“Find”* list choose the category you want to search including: vendor, contact name, address, phone or vendor comment.
2. From the *“That”* list choose to search for anything that *Contains* whatever you type for a search, or only an item that *Starts With* your entry.  

**Example:** Searching for a contact person’s first name that *Starts With* “t” might return Tom, Tina and Trevor, while searching for anything that *Contains* “t” might return those as well as Brett, Martin and Elizabeth.
3. Type in the thing for which you are searching (for example the person’s last name, or just a few letters of their name) and click *Find.*
4. Vendors or people that match your criteria will be displayed showing the *School Name* (location) where they may be found.
5. *Dbl-click* the person or vendor’s name in the Results to go to their screen.
