subject: Name Lookup

Does anyone have a clue how the name lookup works in a V7 nodelist?  It
seems to be remarkably perverse.  For example, if I enter "George
Peace" it comes up with 1:270/104, which is nodelisted as
"PEACE" and doesn't like calls from strangers, rather than
1:270/101 which is nodelisted as "GEORGE PEACE".

Is there any way to change this behavior?
