Search function. I'm having problems.
« on: Tuesday 24 June 08 10:24 BST (UK) »
Hi

I feel like I should be able to resolve this myself, but I keep coming up against the same problem.

My maiden name was Rands and I am trying to do a RC search for it, but whenever I type it in, the results always include "grandson" etc which obviously bulks ou the results a bit and I am finding it very difficult to sift through.

It doesn't appear to be case sensitive.

Any hints or tips please?

Have you tried typing "Rands" with quote marks?

That sounded a really good solution, and I felt a bit dumb for not thinking of it........but the results are the same! Grin Roll Eyes

I can't be the only one surely? Maybe some of the search options will deal with it...off to play again.....
