Joan,

Here is a suggestion ...
if this is going to be your most used part, I'd look into Intermedia ... you'll have a lot more options to work with and they will work good.

Until then, I'd recommend replacing instr() with appropriate LIKE clause because at-least it will help you use an index. Through a DB trigger ensure that all names (first/middle/last) are always in UPPER so you don't have to pur UPPER or deal with FBI.

Initially I thought of merging all clauses into one, but then I realized, Oracle will end up doing what I un-did (it will replace all OR conditions to UNION ALL anyways).

Happy Holidays Everyone !!
Raj
