That's interesting.  When I tried it the first time earlier today, last 
name 'equals' Allison didn't yield a name.  I also got a bunch of Ricks, 
but no Allison, similarly with Issaquah.  I just tried it again and it 
worked. How'd that happen?

However, I will use 'like' instead of 'equals' in the future.  I will 
now try the remaining names, but am relatively sure they will pop up 
withn the same seven names that Tom Weedon reported.  Thanks.
