When doing a search, only part of the word needs to be typed, eg for "Yamaha" you only need to type "Yam". A search will be done of the whole theft data base and if your request is found under any section, that bike will be displayed - eg a search on "Yam" would result in all Yamaha's being listed, but if a bike listed had a registration number YAM 100Y then that would also be displayed.

Care does need to be taken as the details stored are as the owners submitted. If you have a registration number YAM 100Y but the owner has entered it as YAM100Y the you will need to leave the space out. When searching first try spaces and then if no result is found then try leaving the spaces out.
