How does it work?
The mod sends a search string to the Open Archives API. How the search string is build depends on several check boxes.
Exact
In Dutch handwritten documents there is no difference between 'ij' and 'y', therefore an 'y' is searched with a wildcard '*'. A lastname Sybenga will also find Sijbenga, Sybenga, Sibinga and Siebenga. The same goes for first names. You can prevent this behaviour by unchecking the exact-box.
All firstnames
Default the mod will only find sources that contain all given first names. Unchecking this option John Peter Doe will also find John Doe, Peter Doe and Peter John Doe.
Period
Checking the period-option will only find sources between year of birth and year of death of given person.
Soundex
Soundex (in Dutch klinkt als) is a phonetic algoritme that will search for names as pronounced. Checking this option will find both names like Rozendaal and Roosendaal.
