With the number of online book, newspaper and other images are rapidly increasing, there’s an increasing risk of missing some key pages if you search by the full name!  It is fantastic that OCR has allowed for easy searching of these pages.  However, recently, I was searching for someone with the last name Wilkinson in some older newspaper articles.  I could not find the record that I knew had to be there.  It turns out that, on that page, her last name had been hyphenated having come at the end of the line:  Wilkin-son!
