Richard:

But that's the strange part....Using the new browser, when I click "Person to 
filter by "Person", I get a list of predicates, including "name".  Then when I 
enter "jo" in the "name" text field, a pull-down list of names appears, 
starting with "John", "John Davis", etc. 

If I enter "john r", I get a pull-down containing "John Russell(7) and John 
Reiley (6)", and if I actually enter "John Davis", I get a list with a single 
"John Davis (18)" entry, which I can select for the John Davis content...  

....but "johann" gets me nothing...not even "Bach or Pachelbel".

Very odd; it's as if Goethe is not in the database, or maybe German names are 
not being processed (neither of which sound likely).
