I desperately need to search for people at certain places. Logically this could be in the event places window. Eg. if I search for John Doe in USA I want to see all occurances and records of all John Does in USA....

Select INDEX (top left of main window), click to open People Index,
Select "Generate CSV" (bottom left of new window).
Then you can export data to a spreadsheet or database program and it will be easy to find any occurrences of names and places. Let me know how you get on.

hi Clive!
Thanx for the suggestion, but with 60.000 people in my database, this becomes a bit too overwhelming. The CSV generation time is too long, but I will of course not have to do this on a daily basis.
The problem with using excel is that I cannot sort both on birth places, probate places, marriage places and death places - and people's names.
It would be much faster to use the "event places" pane.
And I need the event places pane to stay open until I close it, aswell.
But I will try the CSV solution the next time I need to search for some people at certain places.
