Isnt it possible to show more then one entry when I'm searching an Actor with a different spelling of a name like:
Sammo Hung
Sammo Hung Kam Bo

that I can see something like this.
"sammo hung" is credited in the following 206 titles (332 profiles):
"sammo hung kam bo" is credited in the following 9 titles (11 profiles):

or
"Gregg W. Landaker" is credited in the following 11 titles (25 profiles):
"Gregg Landaker" is credited in the following 641 titles (1765 profiles):

It would be much easier to find the most used name and to use it for the crosslink feature and you'll find maybe a spelling which you didnt have searched in the Credit lookup field with the most used name

damn I mean Credit Lookup extendeD

I think it would be nice as well as showing us the titles where the actor has been credited, if it would also at least list the alternative "as credited" names where the search name has been used as a common name.

What about opening an additional tab/window with your browser opening a second instance of the CLT?

No, I can only edit the message, not the subject

Thanks for this information, Giga.  I knew it could be done, but since I was in someone else't thread (and had never done it in one of my threads) I didn't know what the procedure for doing it was.  Now I know.
