Because in Query by Example you can only search for a date : Before, Equal or After. There is no button for Contains.

I did try the other searches. Just wondered why the query by example did not work.

Found a bug? Query by example, entered "1959" in born, selected either gender, selected how to find: anywhere in field... It found only one record, and it wasn't me! (clear list before this search) It appears to have found one person with just "1959" in their birth date. It does not find anyone (and I know at least myself and my cousin qualify) who has a full date in 1959 in their birth date. Is this a bug? --Paula in Texas Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
