NNDB Search Engine
Some search features:
  • Search results are divided into shaded clumps called "rings". Lighter colors indicate better matches. The phrase Davis produces many shades, step through the results using the Next link to see them all.

    Darker colored rings show:

    • Profiles where the person's real last name matches your query
    • Names that sounds like your query
    • Names that contain your query in the summary
    • Some "best guesses" using profile data and wishful thinking

  • Large result sets are split into twenty queries per page

  • Nickname example: Tricky Dick

  • Full Text search example: Spider-Man

  • When searching names, Fred expands to Freddy, Freddie, Friedrich and so forth

  • If a name search fails to find an exact match, it tries the summary field: dressing

  • Searching for stoned shows two sets of results: matches in the summary field and names that sound like the word "stoned".

  • Movie Search is forgiving when it comes to alternate titles. Searching for the classic film National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation will still manage to turn up the other title, simply Vegas Vacation.
