I know what you mean. You can only search in a structured fashion by specifying each component of a location from the left. The best way to sort locations is from right-to-left (from the largest entity to the smallest). A worthwhile change might be to allow the use of wildcards in the search e.g "*, Norfolk". Another changes in the Search facility that could be useful is to define 'Any Location' as a 'Where to look' field. This, coupled with the 'contains' ability in 'How to look' would satisfy Kathys original requirements. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ 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).
