I appreciate you have both surnames listed in his profile, but if you search for Demetric Sifakula, the name gets lost in a long list of names. Is it possible to have a page for Demetric Sifakula which re-directs to Demetric Vaimauga with the note about him changing his name to honour his mother?

The reason being that down the track people will search for him under Sikafula as he was known & wonder why they can't find him.
A bit pedantic, I know.
Just like Brandon Pearson / Costin

I would also add a note under Costin about the surname Pearson. It notes a name change but no mention of Pearson.
It shouldn't do that Shawn has recently changed the search function we will see if it can be fixed.
With Brandon Costin there is already an additional note stating his surname was changed from Pearson to Costin in 1999.
Demitric Vaimauga will now be at the top of the search on any variation of his name.
I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but when I search for Kuresa, it takes me straight to Frank Kuresa. I would've expected that the search list would show Frank Kuresa and Tallis Eranossian, because her maiden name is listed on her profile
It seems to me maybe the search function is searching for profile name, nickname, birthplace, and any notes on the page, but not the full name field
I'll take it up with Shawn.
Is Tallis related to Frank?

Not that I'm aware of. Just seems to be a Samoan surname
