Person name variants

Person name variants are provided by i2 and imported automatically when you first build a Full-Text Search index. If a more recent version of the SMB library is installed, then you are prompted to upgrade the name variants file when you next open Tools > Search > Full-Text Search Indexing.

If you install a new version of the SMB library, you can upgrade to the person name variants file provided as part of the new SMB library by selecting Tools > Database Design > Update Person Name Variants.

You can view the version of the SMB library that is currently installed by looking in the lower left corner of Full-Text Index Maintenance.

The Update Person Name Variants command is unavailable when:

• The Full-Text Search plug-in is not loaded.

• You do not have both Security Administrator and Database Administrator permissions.
