Searching tips: Match All When the match all option is selected, only those entries are displayed which match everything you have entered in the search form. This option is most likely to yield good results if you know specific information such as dates and names. If you are familiar with Boolean Searches or SQL Queries, this is equivalent to connecting all of the fields together with AND. Match Any When the match any option is selected, every entry is displayed which matchs anything you have entered in the search form. This option is likely to list lots of irrelevant entries. If you are familiar with Boolean Searches or SQL Queries, this is equivalent to connecting the fields together with OR. Too Many Results Sometimes, the database might find hundred of results that match your request, in that case, we display a sample of the results. To get results more relevant to your search, please retry an advanced search using the "Match All" option, and supply more information. Links in the Search Results Clicking on a link in the search results searches the database for similar sounding entries in the same column. Soundex Searches based on how a word sounds. If a phrase is entered, only the first part of the phrase is indexed. Unless otherwise specified the database does soundex searches. Match Start of Word Matches the beginning of a word of phrase. For example looking for Cath would find Catholic, Cathy, and Cathmore, but not catfish. Match Any Part of Word Finds the word, by exact spelling, if it appears anywhere in the database. (This is the slowest search option.) Case Insensitive The searchs are not sensitive to case.
