Let's say we are using the example presented by -help notes-with an
additional note:
. mpg note: is the 41 to mistake? Ask Bob.
. mpg note: what about the two missing values?
. mpg note: Pedro Nakashima
When we looked for the last one..
. search notes Nakashima
we can find it ...
mpg:
One. Pedro Nakashima
But to another database (previously saved), if we
. anyvariable note: this is the first note
. anyvariable note: this is the second note
. anyvariable note: Pedro Nakashima
and also
. search notes Nakashima
the result is
not found
there's nothing in either -help notes- or statalist posts that
explains this kind of error..
