Search Core and Custom POIs at the same time

Hello! I'm a new Nuvi 660 owner and am trying to figure out exactly how everything works. I've used POI Loader to load all the Sam's Club locations(just for fun). I'm wondering if there is a way to search the custom POIs at the same time as I'm searching the pre-loaded POIs.
Right now I have to hit "Extras" to search the custom ones and then "Food" or whatever to search the rest. It would be nice to be able to do this in one step. Maybe I'm missing something?
Thanks,
Brian

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

think of them as 2 different animals. Both having different locations and names. They are basically different files.

Thanks guys! I appreciate
Thanks guys! I appreciate the quick response. I assumed this was the case but wanted to verify. It's too bad since the two files really contain the same kind of information. But you can't have everything, right? I'm just glad you can load custom POIs at all.
Accuracy
...the two files really contain the same kind of information.
I have found that the POI files downloaded from POI Factory are more accurate than the built-in POIs. The folks here are constantly updating the files to keep them accurate. Its been my experience that the built-in POIs either have points missing, in the wrong location or don't have points that have been there for less than 3 years.
Yes, I'm shamelessly promoting this site.
