Thanks Jenny, but in your example I can't search Mary in the index and get Jane Mary... I tried a * wildcard, which did nothing. Just got an idea and searched " then ' and got only the first instance, " , and it won't go to the next, so that didn't work either.
Ex: (Same as your Jane Mary) - Henry Roy was known only as Roy; Dora Oral was Oral... I'm entering scattered info;what I want to dois just locate them in the index so I can see their family. ________________________________ From: Jenny M Benson <ge...@cedarbank.me.uk> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Monday, January 2, 2012 5:52 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How to search middle name in index?

If a person is known by any name which is not the first given name, you should enter their full Forename as follows: Jane Mary "Mary" or Henry "Hal". In Reports you can choose to Use Quoted Name for Narratives and Remove Quoted Given Names so you report might read Jane Mary Doe was born .... Mary married ..." You can search for these people by using the Detailed Search and selecting Given Names / Contains / "Mary" or Given Names / Contains / "Hal". -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
