Hi Hank, Have you tried using the -i flag on a regular whois query? That should list all objects that reference a specific person in either tech-c, admin-c, zone-c or author. MarcoH On 14 sep 2011, at 07:16, Hank Nussbacher wrote:

Old thread:
In the old system one could find all objects that had a specific person listed. In the new system, you state that you don't index role or person objects but you also don't index the strings tech-c or admin-c inside inetnum objects for example. This makes it then impossible to find what objects a person is listed on. Imagine someone retires and you want to change all his/her objects that list them - it used to be able to be done with the old free text search. The new one doesn't allow it.

Dear Hank
Currently this new search is only a prototype. But it works much more effectively than the search you referenced below. It is more powerful, has more features and can be more easily scaled and adapted to changing underlying data. The current search, based on glimpse, is end of life. If the prototype meets users needs then we will replace glimpse with this new service.

Dear colleagues,
Our RIPE Database developers implemented a new free text search for the RIPE Database. Read details on RIPE Labs:
