If you want to find Hartmann but don't know he is in London and say the H is unclear you can search for artmann, etc. The city heads are all cap. Most internet browsers and word processors have search functions.
When you have a match you need to scroll up to find the City. You should repeat your search as the same name or part name may also be in other agents names and or other cities. Now you can go to the book and find additional information.
A number of agents names are repeated, one under another, this means that the book lists different markings having the same basic wording.

You could also change the coding in these files to be appropriate to your system.
