Robert :

I have found that the use of a "wild card" is the best way to extract all that is available and then I can pick what I feel will most likely affect or be something I want to look at- rather than limiting myself to what the computors want to let me "see". This can bring up a long list of what has been used in the system- but better to be safe and not rely on the "brains" of an indexing system that is controlled by the computer. I have seen ones that only showed up on the third or fourth page of these kind of searches- but were the people I was looking for- just all in how the documents are "prepared" , and that is a major stumbling block also- the persons preparing the docs for recordation don't always wait for the title to review the "of record" names, they just take the names off the application, and never go back and make the corrections, and then we end up with "AKA's"
A wild card is always a safer way to extract the information one is looking for-I never do a search of anything without one, just a habit I have found to be useful !!
