Why do I get the message, "No Records Returned"?

The short answer is, none of the database records satisfied your entry (or entries).  This is more likely to happen with the Exclude Query, which requires an entry in all three name boxes.

Is the query case sensitive?

No, the query is not case sensitive.  In other words, "red", "RED", or even "rED" will all work equally well.

Can I abbreviate entries?

Yes, abbreviations can be used, but the result may be differ, depending on whether (or not) the abbreviated entry results in more database records satisfying it.

When would I use the Include Query?

The Include (OR) Query is most useful when you want to query on only a single name field.  An example would be when you want all the common names containing Drake.  In this case, you would only need to enter Drake in the common name box.

When would I use the Exclude Query?

The Exclude (AND) Query is most useful when you want to query on multiple name fields.  An example would be when you want all common names containing Red Quill for all order names for all scientific names containing Paraleptophlebia.  In this case you would enter Red Quill in the common name box, enter May in the order name box, and enter Paraleptophlebia (or Paralep) in the scientific name box.

What if I’m still having trouble using you names database query?
