See subject line.

Specifically, Philip Baker Hall...

In my own collection it's way more common with Philip / Baker / Hall, but that's no way to tell for sure.

Thoughts?

In my opinion, whithout evidence to the contrary, it should be parsed Philip/Baker/Hall.

There has been many posts on this subject in past but this site here has been locked down after it received 121 replies and the tempers flew....

I figured this would happen...

How do you guys find these things with the search? I can't seem to find anything with it. And I mean that quite literally. If I use "Any Date" I pretty much always get zero results. If I use 30 Days I do get some stuff, but couldn't really find anything this time around.

Any search tips?

Maybe I'll change the name of this thread if there's some useful stuff posted.

I don't know how others have done it, but if the inbuilt search fails me, I use Google, and specify invelos.com as the site to search

searchstring site:invelos.com

try to take this name Meredith Scott Lynn then you can see it's not all name they hat with first and middle and last name.
and in credit lookup tool is the most yoused Philip / Baker / Hall
cedit lookup tool can well be used to look what is the most used way to credit a actors name
so it's will be nice if credit lookup tool also made a note of the way a actors name is spell like
Philip Baker Hall
credited in like 150 title 1000 profiles
750 Philip / Baker / Hall
250 Philip / Baker Hall
so it wiil be nice if credit lookup tool will be able to do it in that way

Type "keyword site:invelos.com" in the Google search window.
Also, take a glance at this thread
