Thank you Rob, that works rather slick... I'll have to use that search feature more to better understand it but it works for me.

I don't think you can set Legacy to search AKA names by default. You
can request it to do so, however, by setting up additional search
criteria in the Detailed Search pane of the Search Dialogue to search
in Alt. Given Names or Alt. Surname. For example:
1st Criterion: Individual, Given names,  Equal To, Cathy
OR
2nd criterion: Individual, Alt. Given Names, Equal To Cathy

Cheers,
Rob
