There are about 49 Malbuts according to the page https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/malbut

Only 12 are listed. Am I having a senior moment? I can't seem to get the others displayed and yet three days ago they were all there.

What an interesting bug. It appears only names 1-12 appear, and no numbers larger than 12. Perhaps something recently changed with the fuzzy search matching; or there's some sort of off-by-one logic error in the code.

Adding a wildcard to the search, appears to list them all: Malbut*

to aid in debugging, here is an example profile that does not appear in the generic list: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Malbut-16

Selected as best answer by virtue of the fact that it gives a work around. Thanks.

The missing ones may have been merged into other Malbuts or into another surname. (or just had the surname changed.)

No they have not been merged or had the surname changed. I would know as I am the profile manager of every single Malbut on WikiTree at the moment. I can walk down the tree to the others so they are there but just not showing.
You can see 39 or so of them in this listing

Definitely something strange going on. It does say about 49 at the top of the  listing when I view it too. Also if you pull up a list for a specific name you can see the others who are missing. Just tried it on Henry Malbut and there are 3, but only one of these shows if you just pull up the Malbut list.

I will put the bugs tag on your question to bring it to attention for closer investigation.

I can also confirm to those doing the debugging that the full list was there a few days ago when David and I were looking together at a merge question.

Thanks, David. I'll add it to our list to look into. Not sure what may have changed!
