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.
(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.
Note:
Human judgment does not play a role in
				  determining the results of the search. Detailed explanations and examples of
				  the search procedures are posted on the Department of Financial Institutions
				  website,
