Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 550 Send Message	I have gone into “Search Trees” with the name “William Mangnall” born 1829. I get 5 born in Westhoughton. If I enter William Mangnall born 1829 in Westhoughton - I get no matches. What am I doing wrong?? EDIT - If I leave "William" off, I get 3 William born Westhoughton.

	It's GR's search facility and it doesn't just affect the search trees function, GR's search facility for what ever reason seems incapable of returning matches when you enter ALL the info known in the search field, Less is more i'm afrade Roy
