How do I get there?

After executing a Profile Search, you will arrive at the Summary of Matches (Profile Search). You can also return to the Summary of Matches from any Profile.

Where can I go from there?

From the Summary of Matches page, you can use the Toolbar to refine your original search, open a context-sensitive Help page, move to Full Text Search or consult general information about AABD.

What can I do there?

The Summary of Matches (Profile Search) indicates the number of profiles retrieved by the Profile Search and the number of hits found in that set of profiles (i.e. the number of times the search term or expression occurs in the profiles).

The Summary of Matches (Profile Search) lists the following information for each profile:

Person's Name
Date of Birth (for example: b. 1888)
Place of Birth (for example: St. Louis, MO)
Date of Death (for example: d. 1920)

From the Summary of Matches (Profile Search), you can choose to view the Profile for a single person.

To view a single Profile:

click the hyperlinked name in the desired entry to move to the Profile for that entry.

You can also choose to view the Profiles for multiple persons:

use the checkboxes to select the entries you wish to view

click View Profile to open the Profiles for all selected entries.

You'll also notice the

icon to the left of each Profile. Clicking on the icon will add the profile to a list which you can e-mail to yourself or others and will also bring up a pop-up box to let you know that the profile has been added to the list:

Record Added Successfully

Click OK to dismiss the popup box and continue selecting profiles. Once you have selected all of the profiles you wish to email, click on the gray Selected E-mail Records button to review the list.

If you have customized your search results to display the entries retrieved in the form of subsets, you can move back and forth between subsets using the Next and Previous buttons. Using the boxes provided next to these buttons, you can also modify the number of records you wish to display in the next or previous subset and, in addition, the Summary of Matches entry number at which you would like the next or previous subset to start.
