G2G: A person search only accesses the first hundred, so how do you access the rest of the list?

Question

Finding that it is not always easy to know if you have the lowest numbered profile for a projected merge. Trying to doublecheck by using the person search.  Looking at Sarah Adams for instance shows 210 profiles but I can only see the first 100. Any way to see the rest?

Hi Dave,

There are a number of improvements we need to make to our search mechanisms. Sorry.

In the meantime, one thing you could do is go to the surname index http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/ADAMS and sort by first name. Then find Sarahs. Of course, that will require some paging through results since there are tens of thousands of Adams!
