The PH client for the Macintosh can be used to both query the database and change your entry. These notes describes methods of formulating PH queries using these clients. See other CAC documents for information about updating your entry and about mail forwarding. If you are in a mail client, then you can do the query from there. If not, you might want to start your Gopher client.
Most applications provide only a single box to enter a query string.
Start by entering the the last name, or first and last name, of the person you wish to find. The PH server currently returns up to 200 names from a query. The person's first name and middle names can be used to narrow the search. The question mark can be used in place of a single unknown character. The asterisk widens the search by matching zero, one, or more characters.
