Hi Susan, I missed your original post. It sound like you have already created a Search List by some method - and are then searching *that* list, as this is the only way I can find the 'search key at the bottom of the page'. The names will/should show up, as Jenny describes below, *if* they are in the list. When you go to the Search button at the bottom of the page and click on 'Show Name List' you are taken back to the name list of your entire file, not just the Search List.
If the name you are seeking has not been included in the Search List then, of course, it will not show up - clicking on 'Name List' takes you to your entire file where it does show up.

Am I missing something? Do you mean finding someone in the name list? If so, as soon as you type the first letter of the surname the focus should jump to the first person in the list whose surname begins with that letter. As you continue to type, the focus moves down to the first matching name again. When you've typed the full name you need to type a comma, a space, then start on the forename. Again, the cursor should keep jumping down the list . Is this not happening for you? It works fine for me. Or are you having a problem somewhere else? -- 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).
