I wonder if the following scenario is a bug I should report, if I am doing something wrong, or if this is just the way it works. I have Mary Jane Peters m.(1) William England m.(2) John Letsinger. A Find for "given names" "contains" "Mary" AND "married surname" "equal to" "Letsinger" fails to find the person. If I change the surname to "England" it all works as it should. I have double and triple checked and I am confident I have spelled everything correctly in my Find request. This situation arose because I had a census entry for the widow Mary Letsinger, and I was trying to use the power of the Find mechanism to find all the possibilities in my data base as quickly as possible. So when I first issued the Find, I didn't know for sure that Mary Jane Peters was the right one. I subsequently found her by other means, but it sure would be nice to be able to trust the Find mechanism in this case. I am on 9.02 (9.0 plus the patch). Thanks in advance for any advice.
