Forwarded from listowner. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Search Too Complex Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 12:49:56 -0600 From: "Max & Carol Scott" <[email protected]> Reply-To: "Max & Carol Scott" <[email protected]> To: "FREEBMD- DISCUSS" <[email protected]> When I looked at some of the data I had uploaded to Freebmd, I found that unless I entered exactly as, for example, this: [R_]adford it was unable to carry out my search, saying too complex. I had imagined that I would be able to search as: *adford but it appears not to be the case. Can I ask, therefore, it there is any merit in entering names with [_] as the initial letter. I had taken advice on this when I started as a newbie, but now I am wondering if I should be transcribing in some other way. Any help would be appreciated. Carol Scott
