Look up Niggles

The -/+ doesn't seem to work.  For example if I put in a birth year 1850 -/+ 5 years, unless I tick the exact box it is ignored, however if I do tick the exact box I get you've looked for X born in 1845. :-[

I use it all the time- if it was 1850 -/+ 5 yrs and you ticked the exact box, you would get 1845- 1855.  Even though I knew that was the case, I have just checked to make sure.
Have another go and see what happens.

Looks sheepish - it does work, I've just took too much notice of the heading rather than the results!
