CET Person List > Options > Show Possible Duplicates consistently returns "No Match Found"
Making sure I understand this feature correctly—it should return matches of people in my CET Person List who are probably matches that need merging. If so, it isn't working as expected.
I have tested it multiple times using the following method:
1. Identify a person who has a suggested possible duplicate shown on their person page.
2. Switch to a tab of my Person List > Refresh page to ensure it is current > select Options > Show Possible Duplicates. The result is always No Match Found.
Am I misunderstanding the function of this feature or is there a glitch?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

@Sheryl S thank you for testing early access CET and providing feedback. Are you searching for living persons or deceased persons? Is the possible duplicate message showing on a CET person page? Please include the PID for both duplicate persons and a screenshot of each step you take, if they are deceased persons.

Duplicates will only show if the same person appears two or more times with the same information in the SAME CET. Similar people in different CETs are not considered duplicates and cannot be merged.

This CET (United States, Virginia, Middlesex enslaved) currently has about 2,400 deceased individuals and NO living individuals. Here is an individual with a POSSIBLE DUPLICATE:
When I go to the CET's PERSON LIST, select OPTIONS, select SHOW > POSSIBLE DUPLICATES, the result is NO MATCH FOUND. I have been able to replicate this with at least 6 different persons with POSSIBLE DUPLICATE conditions.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Thank you in advance,
Sheryl

Is this like the experience I had with the Private tree (my GEDCOM) vs the public tree? I had a number of names I had tried to merge and it would not work, because the names I had were in my personal GEDCOM. I deleted my huge GEDCOM FamilySearch Tree I had posted around 3 years earlier and then I began working on the Person List that has over 57K names, many of which are "living" over 100 years old and which I am slowly working through and in many cases finding duplicate entries that have death dates.
