Yes. The problem is that the search may throw up a false match -- "Johnson"
for "John", let's say. The check "if n does not equal {b, f, c, d, e} then"
will pick this up as a false match, and then you will add a new record --
but what if there was a second record already there that was also a match?

Better to get all matches, and loop through them.
