Justin Premick - September 26th, 2006In my last post, I brought up the topic of content filters and discussed what can be done to minimize the chance of such filters affecting your messages.

Tom Kulzer (AWeber CEO) - September 13th, 2006Searches for names and other data within a subscriber record are now case insensitive. Due a recent behind the scenes database upgrade we now have new software enabling this feature. This has been on our wish list for many years but was simply not possible due to speed, performance, and database architecture restrictions.
Example searches to find a subscriber by the name of “John Doe”:
- Name-> is -> “JOHN DOE”
- Name-> is -> “john doe”
- Name-> contains -> “john”
- Name-> contains -> “dOE”
- Name-> contains -> “John”
Search for leads within your account by logging in and click the “Leads” tab. You can also use the global search located on the main page when you login to search all of your subscriber lists simultaneously.

Instead of being directed to the default success page indicating that a new subscriber has confirmed a customer can now specify a separate website URL to direct those visitors.
