Search Tips
- Because the naming and categorization of lists is often non-intuitive, if you are not finding the list you were looking using the Advanced tab for try searching the list description only - this can yield better results than searching in the location or surname fields.
- If you are getting no results, try using fewer search terms or using some of the wildcards suggested below. Remember that the Advanced tab "ands" the terms together, so using fewer fields will return more results.
- Search for a phrase by putting quotes around a group of words, like "john jones"
- Perform a single character wildcard search using "?". For example, j?nes will find jones and janes
- Perform a multiple wildcard search using "*". This will look for zero or more characters, so jon* will find jon, jones, and jonson
- Use "AND" to require the search to find all words or phrases. "john AND jones" will only return results with both words
- Use "NOT" to exclude words or phrases. For example "john NOT jones" will return all results with the word john but not jones
