Search engine - software updates.

Updates to the search engine software will be announced here.

To start the thread, I have added searching on initials. These should be entered without spaces. For example to search for John Philip Henry Smith, enter the initials as JPH in the Initials field.

The initials search field looks for a sub-string match, hence you will get the same result for this example by searching on JPH, JP, PH, J, P or H.

Don't forget that forenames (or initials) are often swapped, so try all possibilities.

Initials of results are now shown on the list.

I hope to add a full forename search at some later date, when the index has been built.
