The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

How does Python convert to proper case MCDONALD or MACDONALD, etal.? The
code I gave out we use and we know that it has this limitation.
Well, any code in any language to deal with English capitalization of
proper names is going to need a dictionary structure of some sort. Python
presents such structures, which you'll need to populate and create/borrow
some code that looks 'em up.
There's no algorithm other than dictionary lookup that's going to
distinguish between the separate cases of
MacDonald
versus
Mackenzie
Plus, the tool I sent gives me the ability to wrap it in an external SQL
procedure. How would Python accomplish this?
If you can call a CL passing parameters, you can call Python with those
params, because you can call Python from a CL.
