  • Searching for one person is like this.
    Example: Smith,J
  • And you can search multiple names at a one time.
    Example: smith, J & white, S
  • Everything!
    If you want to search "Smith, J." or "White, S.",
    Example: Smith,J. | White,S.
    So the search result brings every single record which is related to those people. Doesn't matter which records of work single or work together.
  • Records with Both names together
    If you want to search records with those names together,
    Example: Smith,J. & White,S.
    Search results bring the record which has the both of names together.
  • Easy Search
    When you can't specify an exact name for the target, put a % percent symbol before/after a word to help easy search.
    Example: Smith% & White%

    You can type either way.
    a AND b
    a OR b
