Re: Search improvement

I've found the search button rather frustrating  in that it only searches for the entered text at the beginning of the field being searched.

An example of this would be that we have two locations called East Rockley Down and West Rockley Down. Neither of which can be found by searching for Rockley.

I'm sure I'm not the first to complain about this.

Re: Search improvement

Hi Rob,

Have you tried searching for "*Rockley" ? It would perhaps make sense to have a hint or something which explains the use of wildcards though as it isn't obvious.
