Filter vs. Search: tag as a new 5.2 behavior
{{man note|Name filtering behavior has [[Rule_expansions#Gramps_5.2.0_.28Aug._2019.29|changed for Gramps {{new|5.2}}]]|In prior versions of Gramps, the name portion of the Filter Gramplet would try to match on any single name field (given, surname, prefix, etc) of all names (primary and alternate) but only field per name &mdash; you couldn't match the given field and surname field in the same name. You could match surname, but simultaneously matching surname and given in the same query wasn't possible. For example, if you Filter on "John", you would get matches of people with firstname "John" but also those with surname "Johnson". More complex search required use of the regular expressions pattern matching options or custom filters.<br /><br />This constraint has been removed and simultaneous search of multiple terms is now the default behavior.}}
Search and Filter work completely differently and it is useful to understand these differences:
