Does anyone have their db configured for
searching alternate names? In our set up, if you try searching an
alternate name from the objects module, or if you go into constituents and
search “last names,” it only searches the primary name, not the alternate
names. I tried playing around with the query groups, but when I add
“Alternate Names” into the Query Assistant, it adds another “first name” and
“last name” field – so someone doing a search on a last name wouldn’t know for
sure if they were searching primary name or alternate
name.
So, question 1: Can I change how
these fields appear in the Query Assistant? I thought for sure this
could be done, but I can’t figure out how to do
it.
Question 2: What if I don’t
want to separately search primary name and alternate name? Is there a
way to combine these two searches easily? I can do it in Advanced Query,
but I’m thinking of our average users who are scared of Advanced
Queries.
Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
