Puerto Ricans (and other Hispanics) use a system of two surnames (one for their father and one for their mother). So if a person was born of a father named Juan RODRIGUEZ and a mother named Maria SANTIAGO, then the surname of the child would be RODRIGUEZ Y SANTIAGO. The "Y" in between the surnames means "and" in English. Sometimes the "Y" is dropped, so you would just have RODRIGUEZ SANTIAGO.
In the Name List dialog, is there any way to easily search for SANTIAGO in the surname (even though it is the second part of the surname)? In other words, is there any way to search WITHIN a surname?
