It's not currently set up to match a full name, just a first, last, or partial. I could change the algorithm to do a full match, but it wasn't intuitive to the way I was thinking this would be used. What were your thoughts?
I started writing the code to split the name apart, but it's difficult to know. I can see how you were using it, because by only using one name I was able to get a menu of potential matches. There really are too many possibilities to consider:
LastName, FirstName FirstName LastName FirstName LastName With Spaces (i.e., Van Burren)
And the list goes on. Odds are, your implementation is best. It's clean and uncomplicated. -- Steve stephen@exitwound.org
