Yo Halcyon...if you are using ICQ5:

1. Bring ICQ to the front.
2. Hit control + f
3. Type the name you are looking for in.
4. BOOM - You will be able to find people in seconds.

That trick changed my life. Hope it helps you.

I use icq Pro, because I didnt like the way ICQ5 handled it..

Thanks Jay for the killer tip!!

You guys can have your list permanently sorted by name..

Just goto Preferences -> Contact List

Under options, Uncheck the box that says "Move the last user that sent a message to the top of the Contact List"

Then under Design, check the box that says "Sort Contact List by:" and select "Name"

Wala..

The control + f trick only works if you have the hotkeys enabled, which I don't because it interferes with other shortcuts such as Photoshop

hey baker good idea, its a pian having to keep sorting them by name, nice tip, Thanks!
