I tried searching for Scottish surnames two ways, and both times found 
"MccHammer" inserted 
specifically to test the accuracy of my search string (I am preparing a lesson 
on regex). I then confirmed 
one of the strings was OK using a Perl regex-workalike package I use in 
programming.

The search strings were:

   Ma?c[A-Z][a-z]+
   M(ac|c)[A-Z][a-z]+

The test data was: MacGregor, McIntire, and MccHammer

Again, both search strings above find all three names when each should match 
only the first two.

It is interesting that both failed, btw. I suppose the first is converted to 
the second at some point?

Cheers, Ken
