Thank you Linda!

You need to go up and delete, backspace, whatever, but get SMITH out of the surname field so that you will see all ICW for Mr. Smith, not just those ICW with Mr. Smith that have SMITH as a surname. The same rule applies if your searched for someone with a particular name in the ancestor box, if that name is still in the box when you try to triangulate, you will only get results for that name in the ancestor box. Might be good, but not really the results you were looking for. FTDNA has made a step forward, allowing us to triangulate with all of our matches w/o having to assign a relationship, but there is need for improvement in the search functions to make it less confusing.
