Today ACS activated a new version of their "search program" on both our public and administrative computer terminals. This new program ignores spaces and special characters. Examples: If you search A B C Realty Trust (with spaces) you will now get the same results as searching ABC Realty Trust (no spaces) If you search O'Donald (apostrophe) you now get the same results as ODonald. We tested the new version extensively before installing it for official use. Obviously, the testing went fine. This is a significant improvement to the search program. It will make the system easier to use for both experienced and new users. An ACS representative has been assigned to the registry all day to monitor the new program.
