Adding date to "Search People" box

David - after you do a search - do you see the box to the left of the results (upper left, yellow box), where you can modify / refine the search?
Click on Events in that box, and I believe you will see you have the option you are asking for. (I haven't tried it for dates since long ago, when I was less than thrilled by how it worked - but it is there and may be working well by now - if you do choose to use dates, click "Options" as well to choose whether or not to match blank years; I frequently make use of naming some family members (under family).

Lois Lubin, I was unaware that date was listed as an option under event in the yellow box. I guess I need to snoop around some more. I will give it a try. Thanks very much for your help.

David. I feel that it would be a useful tool. An example is Slavic families where you have individuals named after grandfathers, GGgrandfathers. I like the idean and it would help me tremendously.

You have many options under Advanced search, including this one. It has been available for a long time.

Jadra. Thanks a lot for your informative comments. I am going to explore what you said. Thanks a lot.
