Hi Lance,

any name group given last name' = 'KIBBLEWHITE' will not find Lance
Kibblewhite, it will find Kibblewhite only when there is nothing
else. Even a space ahead of KIBBLEWHITE would exclude it from being
equal. ' Any name group given last name contains KIBBLEWHITE ' will
work better.
Or
Any name group surname = KIBBLEWHITE will also work as long as nothing
else is in the surname field. Any name group surname contains
KIBBLEWHITE will find KIBBLEWHITE, KIBBLEWHITES, von KIBBLEWHITE, etc.
