Simplifying the DNA matches

I've uploaded my autosomal DNA from ancestry.com/myfamilytreeDNA. Now I got notified that I have close to 2,000 AS matches. There is no way to search in those results for specific people. Aside from going through each person page by page there is no way of manipulating the data. Also, suppose I have a match to Jane c Doe. When I click on her page since the data is only as good as whatever was input, it may show me that no relationship was found. However, if she is a DNA match to me, shouldn't it show that there is a potential blood relationship yet we don't know the chain because the data hasn't been entered yet? So if Jane c doe only has her parents and a couple of cousins entered and I click on her name it will show me no association. However if she and I share autosomal DNA then there should definitely be a mark on that page showing that we are somewhat connected and then I could research her a little further and be in touch with her.

I wanted to add one more thing. Like I said aside from going through all 2000 results manually I would love to be able to enter one name in geni, and then based on genetic matches it should clearly say on the screen yes or no. If it's a no I'll move on and if it's a yes then I'll inquire.
