How to rename pushpins to accommodate their search?

I have several hundred pushpins with general descriptions in them in the format of "general desription - official name" (Clear Creek - kklntxezbla). I need to be able to search for official name (kklntxezbla) but it will not find this name unless I know the first few letters of the general desription. If I search for "Cl kklntxezbla", I can find it. That does not help since all my general desriptions are different and I don't know all of them.
Is there any other way to search for these or can I add a few leters to the beginning of every pushpin that allow me to search?
I changed a few descriptions and added "PG" to front of the description and am able to search for officail name by entering "PG kklntxezbla". Now can I change all descriptions to start with PG?

Re: How to rename pushpins to accommodate their search?

I found my answer already on this forum, posted by Marvin Hlavac. I was able to use these trial versions. When I exported to Excel I had 2 name data fields and I was able to reverse those fields when I imported back in to Microsoft Streets & Trips, which gives me the search I was looking for.

Thank y'all

Hi cwr5656,

to the forums!

I'm glad you found a workable solution -- and you found it sooner than any one was able to reply.
