The quick search filed on every page uses the standard
search. It would be nice if it could be set to use a
soundex (DM or Russel) for this search field (it is
more commonly used than the search page).

    the use of an indi ID such as typing I1000 into the search
    field should remain even for a soundex search.

    EXACT matches should be listed before those that matched on
    SOUNDEX.

    exact, i did not find that one.
    when i observe the log, manu visitors search for a name but
    do not spell it exactly like it's written in the gedcom ....
    and they leave after several empty queries.
    I really think there shouln't be two search areas but only
    one form where you can click a case for "Exact" so default
    mode would be "Soundex" except if the case was clicked
    (then general search.

    The results of soundex search on the surname should be the
    first name.

    Perhaps it should be optional to sort the results by
    surname, as now.
