I suppose my quote marks indicate "name called" to be a little more precise. That may not be sufficient for purists but according to my wife I have some other impurities, too. So far I don't view hearing loss as a problem. :) Hugh

My reference above (Given or Nickname contains) was only an attempt to exactly duplicate what one would see as the choice on the RM screen. So RM at that point doesn't care if you have the item in the name field or the nickname field... it will search for whatever you put in the "contains" box.
