Name Searching

The ability to search specifically for names of companies and people.  Some search engines can do this because they can distinguish between upper and lower case characters.  If the first letters of words are capitalized, the engine assumes it may be a proper name.

Suggestions

• Use the NEAR operator when available.  This will allow for the name to be inverted and will also allow for middle names.
  Example: Hillary NEAR Clinton will retrieve Hillary Clinton; Hillary Rodham Clinton;  Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton; Clinton, Hillary
  
• Put the name in double quotes.
  
• Enter all the possible variables together linked by the OR operator.
  Example:  "Hillary Clinton" OR "Hillary Rodham Clinton" OR "Clinton, Hillary"
