Search question

Post by Stormy Peak »

Is there a way to get search to show an Exact name...rather than the name used on prior horses?
As it sometimes happens, I'll punch in a name...like :

"This Horse"

But instead of that I will get:
"This Horse I "

or

"This Horse I"
"This Horse II"

Why won't the database show what I typed in exactly?
I have seen names listed as 'reserved' but for some reason it only happens with certain horses. :?:

Even if the name is reserved, it would be nice to see who owns it...I've had people contact me in the past and ask if I could release a name...and sometimes I have. Sometimes I will release the name, and I guess, it never hurts to ask...the worst that can happen is they tell you, 'no'.

To see the reserved name you have to type in -1 as the age. Hope that helps.

If you search with quotation marks included then you should get an exact match.
