What is the "name" field on the search screen

When I go to Navigation then to Information, find a category, it brings up the Search screen, where it lets you set the maximum distance. It also has the option to start the search and it has a third option which I don't know how to use. It allows you to enter a name, so I have tried things like entering the business name I want like CVS or something and it never finds anything that way. The only way I find anything is to keep that field empty and just manually search through all the results.

Does anyone know what the field is for and how to use it??

Yes, it is for entering the business name you want like CVS or something.

It will search for anything containing the string you enter: *%string%*. For example, entering "MAR" will find "WAL-MART" and "K-MART" and "AAA SUPERMARKET."

Unfortunately, you have to be in the right category for it to find something, which is really lame. For CVS, I think there is a pharmacy category. I've searched for CVS before and found it. Others seem to have more trouble guessing the correct category but I haven't had much trouble with it. YMMV.

thanks, I must have been misspelling things and then just stopped trying it. Tried it with a part of a word and it works.
