Search by Ship's name #1159

This is a suggestion (for a future version) based on a very interesting talk I went to earlier this week about the Viola / Dias - who was, at various points, a trawler, a minsesweeper and submarine-spotter, a whaler and finally a sealer and is now in South Georgia. I thought it would be fun to see if I could pick her up on a census (forgetting that she wasn't built until 1906 ...).

I think ship and shipping historians would find it invaluable to be able to find ships by their name

This can be achieved in a new search screen: Filter all the records in the database by including only entries with an ED of 0#2 or 0#8. Search the address field for the ship name as a substring. Display the resulting data. The second option would be to apply the filter and then search by surname and/or firstname. Geoff
