Hello all. SEARCH FACILITY You might remember that I whinged when we first lost the "Your Relations" facility, and I am grateful to the Web-master for bringing it back. However, I now wonder if it would be possible to include A COLUMN INDICATING THAT A PARTICULAR NAME APPEARS ON SOMEONE ELSES' TREE. If say, a red "YES" appears, then one could presumably just click to open the contact facility. I appreciate that one can search from the tree itself, but that involves a process each time of: 1) Going into the tree 2) Finding the relative 3) Pressing the SEARCH button 4) Scrolling to read the result of the search. As it takes a lot of time each time to find each relative on the tree, this is a labourious process. Furthermore, it is not a job that needs doing only once, since names are being added to the database by other members constantly. Please forgive me if there is already a way of speeding up the process that I am unaware of. Any thoughts on the question please? Thanks Bruce.
