When searching for quick search Wilt in combination with partner Taal and flexible matching enabled no profile is found, but when I add Jan Janse 't Wilt with partner Lijsbet Cornelisse Taal with son Cornelis 't Wilt Geni finds a possible duplicate https://www.geni.com/people/Cornelis-t-Wilt-or-Twilt/6000000203166184957?through=6000000225391042821 with parents https://www.geni.com/people/Jan-T-Wilt/6000000203649532845?through=6000000225391042821 and https://www.geni.com/people/Lijsbet-Taal/6000000203649614833?through=6000000225391042821

I had more problem with not finding a combination of partner last names when one name was in quick search and the other in the partner name search field

  Hi Job, I'm not able to reproduce this. When I do the same search for "Wilt" with partner "Taal" and match names flexibly selected, I get 77 results. Are you still having this issue?

  I'm also getting 77 results now. Could it be an index was lagging behind at the time?

  I noticed an other problem: when I have <name 1> in the quick search field and <name 2> in the partner field where that gives a number of results I get less results when I add a <name 3> to the partner field while Geni shows it as a selection of <name 2> OR <name 3>.  It looks like that OR is an AND

  Also I do not understand what Partial family matching does. When I select that in combination with the quick search field and partner field I get fewer results.

  Hi Job, we're looking into what's going on with the search filter in that scenario.
