In any field where you are entering text, the BAS interprets your data with inherent truncation. If you wish to force an exact, un-truncated match with a word, place a space after the word. You can also download records found by searching or browsing to a file on your own computer. You are given a choice of downloading only the records on the page you are currently viewing, or all the records the search produced. Be sure, if there is a very large number of records, that you indeed want to download that many.
Some searches can produce thousands of hits.
You may want to refine your search a bit first so that fewer records are found and eventually downloaded. The computer will download your records to Microsoft Excel once you specify that this program is the one you would like to use. After you have selected the downloading option, the computer will ask which program you would like to use to open the file. This will automatically start Excel.
