Ok here is my example: I have people that I created an 1850 Census event and enter the events the same: Event name: Census I entered the description as either of these two. Event-description: 1850 U.S or 1850 US
So I did search>find>Census List 1. United States 2 . I Choose 1850 (note the first time I went to this screen the default was on 1940 with no date showing if you create a Search List without selecting a year from the box, the search will find no results. So you must select a year from the drop down box for a search to work). 3. you can choose your Census List Report Options 4. make sure Clear List before This search is ticked 5. Create a search List (I had 3272 entries in list) 6. Options>Advanced Tagging> 7. choose a tag number and then click>Everyone in Search List>Close Advanced Tagging 8. Now click on Search>Find and go to Detailed Search tab 9. Primary Condition: Look for whom? Individual Where to look: Event-Name How to look: Equal To What to look for: Census 10. Check Second Condition AND Individual Event-Description Starts With 1850 11. Search only list is ticked>Create the search list (I am left with 253 entries) 12. Options>Advanced Tagging>Untag>Everyone in Search List 13. To verify that it worked you can go back to Search>Find>Census List and looking create the list and you should see on the event tab, that everyone that is tagged does not have an 1850 census event and those that are untagged have a Census event-description equal to 1850 Now when you want to work on them just use the Indi. Tag # to find the next one in the list. If you want to refine it even further then you can do that by searching on the individuals with that tag number and what ever criteria you want using the Detailed Search tab.

If the event you are looking for isn't the FIRST event listed, it won't pick it up. I submitted it as a bug a long time ago (over a year I would say) but I honestly don't know if it has been fixed. I haven't tried to do a search like that since then. You might want to test it.
