I just got completely different results than you did on the exact same search. <g> Experimenting is generally the best way to go about checking to see what a search engine will do and won't do....but something appears to be very wonky with the board searches right now... O'Connor and o'connor both resulted in only FIFTEEN matches when I did the search (and board searches are NOT supposed to be case sensitive) so that would be correct--however with a search of ALL boards a search of O'Connor was only turning up results were O"Connor was in the posts--not O'Connor--weird!!! A search of OConnor turned up over 16,000 thousand results including ALL results for O'Connor, etc. Joan
