texte = I don't think wbrk is the problem in this example. My guess is that if you took out the nameword=ww parameter it would work exactly as it's supposed to. Without testing this myself, I see that the first item in the list is different from the other two because it doesn't begin with a space character. The words you are search for are: Joe Smith Joe Jones and Joe Roberts. The text Joe Jones doesn't appear in any field; only Joe Roberts does. Likewise for Joe Roberts. The word parameter only comes into effect when a match is made.
