We change "Name" in the "New status" column to true. Now when we search the name is displayed.

We change all the fields in "Show on Lookup" to False except Name. Now when we search the name is the only field available to be searched up.

= Fuzzy Searching vs. Precision Searching =
In the searching by default fuzzy searching is applied to every field. This means you can type in "les" in a first name and it will search for cat anywhere in that first name e.g.
* Leslie
* Charles
* Ailesh
So fuzzy search can be really helpful in finding matches. However for certain fields, like numbered accounts or lists of things, exact or "precision searching" is required. This is turned on and then the contents must exactly match. This of a list from 1 to 10. With fuzzy searching if you search for 1, you get everything with 1 and 10.
