FIND GROUP - more restrictive than it used to be

I note that the FIND GROUP - appears to only search on ENTIRE WORDS ONLY in the DESCRIPTION

So for example If I search for GERMAN - I dont find the German Community Group

But if I type in GERMANY (with Y) - it does work.

Also in the OLD community you could search for KEYWORDS - such as IDAHO - and get the Western States or Paciific Northwest State Groups.

GROUPS are not as easy to find as they once were.

    I tried to find a group I previously posted in but I COULDN'T FIND IT AT ALL.

    It was an English language group dealing with records in France. I used the search items French and France but all I could find was a French language group.

    The France Group is not currently up in the new community - but Leadership is aware and is taking action.
