1. Searching for a former name of an orgnization - not DBA

   Here is a common scenario. An org is fiscally sponsored by a church and then gets their own 501c3 status and changes their name. In foundant, we would update the org name to say (formerly XYZ Church). When evaluators see the church name - they often ask whether services are limited to members of that church even when the org has nothing to do with the church (e.g., a food bank). To remove any confusion for evaluators - I tried adding the church name to the Sort Name, but when I tried to do a search for the church - the result did not show for the org. Someone posted this idea a while ago and it got archived, but I'm raising this again since the new context might add rationale for why this is helpful. We'd like to be able to search for a previous name of an organization via the Sort Name feature. We added a field in the org profile for DBA (Doing Business As), but the need here is different than DBA.

2. Organization searches - back to results function

   I know this question has been raised before, but I can't tell how long ago, so I am resubmitting to indicate continued interest. It would be helpful in Organization Search to have a Back to Search Results function. If I do an organization search with multiple possible matches, I have to redo the search if I happen to pick the wrong one the first time.
