SO TRUE! Computers are precise. An Alternative Name index (like Legacy's) that would link all name variations to the same memorial would be ideal. It would take time to build, but would be so helpful.

Thanks for the reply, Bob. I considered that possibility, but there is absolutely nothing different from what I have in Legacy and the FAG site. I just checked it again. While I was there, I searched for Heinrich Ladendorf, and Henry Ladendorf. The Heinrich entry matched what I had entered on FAG. The search for Henry came up empty, unlike some other sites' search engines. So that's something to be aware of. Fwiw, others can be aware that a "no hits" doesn't necessarily mean there is no memorial for the person in question.

I haven't seen this discussed, and I wondered if anyone else has experienced what I have. Probably 15 - 20 years ago, I entered a few memorials at FAG. While trying out the new V9, two of them were not found in the search at FAG. Thinking I probably had a typo or something, I double checked everything, but found no errors at all. Going to the FAG site, I searched for them. Sure enough, they showed up. But not searching from Legacy. Has anyone else seen the problem of searches coming up empty, when you know they exist? -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
