Hi Patrish
I've found that it really doesn't make a lot of difference to my searches.
I'm quite happy.

on both screens above the first name box is a little box - exact match only, that you can tick, so presumably it does soundex unless you tick this box?

Sorry - hadn't realised you hadn't got this box ticked - you need it ticked for the  soundex option to appear.

Got it now  Must admit its contradictory to me exact match, means that, surely Soundex mean anything that sounds like it,  My logical thinking. .

Thanks for your help as usual.

I think if you don't have the exact matches box ticked then it will produce more answers than with it ticked and soundex selected.  That's because with soundex it only picks up spelling variations but without the exact matches selected it includes completely different first names.
