I would guess that 'contains' is looking for something contained, and since it was blank, it didn't know what to think. On the other hand, 'equals' blank actually equals blank. --

I set up my search equation to find all parties in the database that (1) do not have a birth date OR (2) do not have a death date and in the "How to look" I first chose "contains" and in the "What to look for" I left blank, but that didn't accomplish what I wanted. I went back to the search equation and chose "Equal to" leaving everything else the same and that worked. Now I'm curious why; it would seem that, at least in this case, both mean the same.
