it says no matches,but there are matches-seems the same problem when it matches up with entries from a person who has 1200 entries. |

its only on certain searches-all the ones that have a certain members entries on-my guess is that certain gedcoms havent been loaded properly by the site....ie their format doesnt configure 100% ....which would also tie in with the contacts lists problems that some have had. |

It noticed it happensif you type in part of a place name in the search criteria. I.e type Bromwich and you get the effect described. Type West Bromwich and it is perfectly ok. |

i get it if i type in derbyshire.... the search mechanism is dire-there are too many different ways of entering the same place and all are listed seperately- a comma or a slight missspelling or abbreviation,and you end up with 20 diferent manchesters for example. |
