@kialj876 I've located this bug related to an ops issue with director search. Did anything further happen with this one? If we were to bring this into the next sprint (20.6) would you require any other information to move forward? There's a large number of professionals who include a period in their name (e.g. the Dr. scenario above) so the impact of this will be fairly high.

I believe this is only an issue with the business search alg. It has never been prioritized for me to look at so I would need time to investigate.
