Search on `harrrrrr` and you'll get the same results. OK. That sort covers one aspect and I can see that searching for harrrrr gives me the same results as harr. Collapsing/ignoring repeated characters may explain why when searching for harr I get the name Richard in the results. It does not explain the results when I search for jone which has no repeating characters. In this case, I see numerous members with the surname Jones but also several that do not contain those consecutive letters in either name nor email address. Until I come up with a better solution, you can surround your query with quotes and that will provide an exact match only (ie. "jone"). Thanks, Mark
