    This article may help answer your question:

    How do I index alias names and other name variations?

    Article Id: 954 April 20, 202


    If alias names were included on a document, or if an individual's name was listed with various spellings on the document, include all variants, separating each with the word Or.

    For example, if a name was written as "Georgios (George), George Broski, George Browzowski, or George Brzozowski," index the name fields as follows:

    Given Name: Georgios Or George

    Surname: Broski Or Browzowski Or Brzozowski
