Don't mess with my search criterion!

If I formulate a search query wherein Last Name = Soto Soto, Geni unilaterally changes it to Soto.  DON'T!

In Spain and its former colonies, a person's surname is the concatenation of two surnames, usually the paternal surname of each parent.

 

Typical example, with paternal surname capitalized, and surname field between slashes:

Father: José Ernesto /SOTO García/

Mother: María Teresa /PEREZ Soto/

Son: José Julio /SOTO Perez/

 

This example is specific to my bug report:

Father: Juan Pablo /SOTO Sánchez/

Mother: Ana María /SOTO Rivero/

Son: Carlos Ignacio /SOTO Soto/

Searching for the son or his siblings I would specify Last Name = Soto Soto, which should yield only those profiles whose last name contains "Soto Soto".

Instead, Geni arbitrarily deletes one of the "Soto" from the query criterion, which yields every person whose last name contains "Soto".  The resulting list is two orders of magnitude larger than it should be.
