There used to be a general rule that "Jr" and "Sr" were not to be indexed as part of the name. Has that rule changed?

    Information concerning "Jr" and "Sr" is generally listed in the field helps for the name fields. You are correct that you do not index a suffix as part of a name. If a suffix is to be indexed there will be a separate field for that entry.

    Hope this answers your question?🙂
