Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] search String for Ancestry
Howland:
The best write up on this is in the Help file within Legacy.
1. Click on Help, Show Help Index
2. Click on Search Tab to perform searches
3. Enter "Custom Internet Search Strings" hit return
4. You will get 4 topics, double click the 1st one - Create Custom Internet
Search
Legacy's help file should be enough detail for you to understand the search
strings.
You can go to your favorite genealogy site and so a manual search using their
data entry. This will create the search string you will need to Legacy's data
fields for the first name, last name, birth, etc.
Then create you own search strings.
I have a fairly comprehensive list of search strings.
You can go to my DropBox folder and download the Word Document at:

Jay & Leon:
For those of us who are not as technically proficient as you, could you
explain what the search strings do and do you fill in some spaces such as given
name and surname and, if so, what goes in the ROOT_CATEGORY if anything? And
what about the items in black such as [ ]=[%20]
