(d) For names identified as an organization, the logical equivalent of all names that begin with the exact name presented for searching shall be returned.
DFI-CCS 5.04(1)(e)
(e) For first and middle names of individuals, initials shall be treated as the logical equivalent of all names that begin with the initials, and no middle name or initial shall be equated with all middle names and initials.
DFI-CCS 5.04 Note
Note: Example: A search request for a "Dolly R. Parton" would cause the search to retrieve all filings against all individual debtors with "Dolly" as the first name, "Parton" as the last name, and with the initial "R" or any name beginning with "R" in the middle name field. If the search request were for "Dolly Parton", (first and last names with no designation in the middle name field), the search would retrieve all filings against individual debtors with "Dolly" as the first name, "Parton" as the last name and with any name or initial or no name or initial in the middle name field.
DFI-CCS 5.04(1)(f)
(f) After taking the procedures in
pars. (a) to
(e) into account, the search shall reveal only names of debtors that exactly match the name requested contained within the UCC information management system and as requested under
s. DFI-CCS 5.03.
