I can't imagine how anyone could think this of topic.  Being able to search the 
internet directly from Legacy is one of its most powerful tools.  I probably 
have more than 100 custom searches that I use.  Using the detail search and the 
advanced tagging features along with customized searches quickly finds your 
records in various data collections at various web sites with only two or three 
clicks of the mouse.

Example:

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=WW1draft&rank=1&new=1&so=3&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=ms_r_db&gsfn=[GivenNames]&gsln=[SurName]&msbdy=[BirthYear]&dbOnly=_F00031C3|_F00031C3_x&dbOnly=_F000277E|_F000277E_x&uidh=7t6

gets you to the WWI Draft Card collection and generally finds your man.

Viola Mather Hall = 0
Viola Hall = 147 (Probably as expected. Lots of middle names added though) 
Viola M Hall = 19 (Viola May Gordon Hall) Hmmm ?

All with the string below.

If this off topic, I give up !
