Annex

[RC Steve Sterling]

My guess it was a case problem. I just looked and its in the db ALLISON, all
caps. Using the EQUALS, if you put in allison or Allison it wouldn't match.

Maybe we should take out the EQUALS option, can't think of a reason to use
it anyway.

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.
