Eric:
Can you modify the name finder to use one or more middle initials? I
found my name displayed as last name, fist name, middle initial when I
did a search as first name, last name but it could not find it if I
input first name middle initial, last name.
Also, can the order of display be alphabetized using all name parts?
Regards
Steven C Perkins
