I would think you could tag all people with surnames H-Z (I think this is what you mean) - using Surname Master List and Show List. However, unlike the location list, you can only do one entry at a time - so it would be quicker to do a search
Individual - Surname - starts with - H etc


Then go in to the IGI search and choose to use the tag list (in Filter List)- and then clear search results for the list (Options).
Hope that makes sense and works for you.


I can't imagine doing this with my file. Very few of my family are in the IGI anyway - and those not accurate - perhaps more of the peripherals are - but I see it as such a mixed tool that I would only search one by one or by small family group.

Perhaps this is useful if you are a member of the LDS.

Do note that you can limit the number of results in Options > Search Options.

Cheers,

I thought Glen had a great idea by setting the IGI Search feature
to search the file continuously until it was done, so I did that.   After
a few hours of retrieving matches, unbeknownst to me my ISP cut
me off and signed me out.  Meantime, while my computer is offline,
IGI Search is faithfully wailing away at the task at hand, finding no
matches (of course), dutifully putting zero after zero into the Matches
field in the data base.

When I discovered what happened I logged on and asked IGI Search
to search again.  It recognized it had been down this path before and
finished checking Pass 1 without trying to retrieve any further
information for those persons who had a zero beside their name.
IGI Search believes it has finished the job.  I'm only up to the H's,
so every name from H to Z has nothing in the Matches field but
zeros.  Is there no choice but to delete the search results one at
a time for each individual with a zero beside the name?  --  Alice
