"No spouse" listed in research field saved time

Because of the preponderance of Smiths I wanted to cut down the hundreds listed as possibilities.  My aunt was never married, plus died in her early twenties.  On impulse I listed "none" in the space for names of a spouse  on Family Search field boxes.  It cut almost 75% of the listings I was getting.  I can't say this will always work because it is a VERY SMALL STUDY (ONE).  If it helps someone else cut out useless information, I have accomplished my goal.
