NAB Search

NAB Search is an iPhone/iPod touch and iPad application for finding a person contact details from the Domino Directory of the IBM Lotus Domino Server. For that purpose the application sends the searched text to the server and displays the result in a list form.

NAB Search requires that the IBM Lotus Domino Server is accessible through the internet.

The user has to own "the login data" with the adequate rights (at least reader permission on "names.nsf") to login on the server.

 

Update Version 1.3

After several requests from our customers, NAB search was expanded to include the following features:

  • The user can now search the contacts database. Contacts (formerly called "Personal Address Book") is a Notes database that is based on "pernames.ntf" template. This database is designed to keep information about people (contacts).
  • NAB Search can show the contact photo if the url address is entered in the Person document on the Server. (available on Domino Server Version 8)

NAB Search Lite

Since the IBM Lotus Domino Server configuration may differ, I provide a free lite NAB Search version to test the application on your environment. The lite version displays the email address only. Copying the data into the local address book is not possible.

Disclaimer

I do not assume any liability, if the full version does not work with your environment. Please test the lite version before buying the application.
