<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3154483, member: 19463&quot;]We coin collector types suffer from a fact of search engine life.&nbsp; We become accustomed to the best of the search software routines like Google that read our minds and return results on what we would have typed if we were not fumble fingered or slow in the head.&nbsp; Most of our coin dealers and groups like acsearch require us to type closer to what the person that entered the record typed.&nbsp; That means Seleucid and Seleukid don&#039;t always play well together.&nbsp; Some programs are much worse than others.&nbsp; Try CNG Research on the name Vabalathus and again on Vaballathus.&nbsp; You will find one coin that is returned on both since the entry was made with two ll&#039;s the first time and just one l lower down in the text.&nbsp; I love the CNG database.&nbsp; I do not love the hardliner programmer that wrote their search routine.&nbsp; Who here wonders what Google gives you if you insist on searching Vhaballathus?</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=vhaballathus&amp;nfpr=1&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwir_Lzmx9ncAhUliOAKHbEeC7AQvgUIJygB&amp;biw=1600&amp;bih=735" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=vhaballathus&amp;nfpr=1&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwir_Lzmx9ncAhUliOAKHbEeC7AQvgUIJygB&amp;biw=1600&amp;bih=735" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=vhaballathus&amp;nfpr=1&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwir_Lzmx9ncAhUliOAKHbEeC7AQvgUIJygB&amp;biw=1600&amp;bih=735</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This will get worse as we key in older records that are more likely to enter Cyzicus than Kyzikos or a thousand other Greek/Roman variations.&nbsp; We need a search engine that returns hit for &#039;woman with helmet&#039; showing coins with either Athena or Minerva.&nbsp; We do not need software that makes us &#039;feel rather stupid&#039;.&nbsp; I can do that quite on my own, thank you very much![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
