When you click on the “Customize Searches…” button and then click on “Add” you 
will see a list of terms that you can use in generating a search string.  
[SpouseSurname} is not one of them.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Search string for Ancestry





I am trying to fine tune my Customized Search from Legacy for Ancestry.com

When you are doing a search from an Ancestry page and the Spouse Surname is 
part of the search request, the resulting URL contains
 &mssns0=[SpouseSurname]

but if I add that info my Legacy Customized search, It doesnt seem to 
recognized the [SpouseSurname] as a variable?

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=allgs 
<http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=allgs&gss=sfs28_ms_f-2_s&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=%5bGivenNames%5d&gsfn_x=0&gsln=%5bSurname%5d&gsln_x=0&MSAV=1&mssns0=%5bSpouseSurname%5d&msbdy=%5bStartYear%5d&msddy=%5bEndYear%5d&cp=0&catbucket=rstp&uidh=7t6>
 
&gss=sfs28_ms_f-2_s&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=[GivenNames]&gsfn_x=0&gsln=[Surname]&gsln_x=0&MSAV=1&mssns0=[SpouseSurname]&msbdy=[StartYear]&msddy=[EndYear]&cp=0&catbucket=rstp&uidh=7t6

Is this something that Legacy isnt doing in the background to create the actual 
search request?

Thanks for any help.
