  The 100,000 spectra from the 2 degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS)
in the 100k Public Data Release represent the largest single compilation of
galaxy spectra available. By virtue of its sheer size and the properties of the
photometric catalogue that defines the sample, the 2dFGRS is expected to
contain a number of potentially interesting objects other than galaxies. A
search of the spectra in the 100k Data Release results in a census of 55
candidate high-redshift (z > 0.3) quasars. One additional 2dFGRS spectrum of a
low-redshift galaxy shows an apparent anomalous broad emission feature perhaps
indicating the presence of a gravitationally lensed quasar. These objects have
been identified primarily using two automated routines that we have developed
specifically for this task, one of which uses a matched filter and the other a
wavelet transform. A number of the quasar images possess complicated
morphologies, suggesting the presence of either diffuse foreground objects
along the line-of-sight or very nearby point sources. The quasar catalogue will
form a target list for future absorption and lensing studies, as well as
providing an assessment of the loss of quasars with non-stellar images from the
companion 2dF QSO Redshift Survey.
