@Paparazzi then they type rlo, rlo%, ^rlo, ^rlo.*, ctrl-A, shift-click, c:\utils\sys exporter.exe -> copy list contents -> paste into a half decent program -> filter words beginning with rlo

| Mar 15, 2017 at 13:47 | comment | added | paparazzo | @nocomprende Maybe they really just want words that start with "rlo". | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 13:35 | comment | added | user67695 | Allow searching by a substring anywhere in the name. So I could find "Charlotte" by typing "rlo", which is probably rare. Mmm... perusing linuxwords file I see Barlowe, Carlo, Marlo, Sherlock, Waterloo... But anyway, my point stands. | |
