When I click the purple star I do not always get a list with the same number of matches :- In my immediate family group the purple star number is first, followed by the actual number of names listed:- Me 64 32 Wife 1 0 A son 4 1 A daughter in law 4 0 Father 21 15 Mother 2 2 In all above cases there are no similar names listed (such as Webber included in a list for Webb) But for one relative the star shows 7 matches, 13 are returned of which only 3 have the correct spelling.

	Just because you mentioned it, I've tried it - and yes, one purple star promises 49 tree matches, but only 23 actually show up. However, I don't think the "glitch" is new - I remember noticing it a while ago. I never normally bother looking at the purple star suggestions anyway - they're mostly wrong. It's just another of the things that don't work on GR.

	I’ve also tried this and although it only says 2 or 3 matches when I look it says none so I don’t know if the star is a mistake or the message.
