This is infuriating. When searching Ancestry for Indiana death certificates, exact does not mean exact. This doesn’t seem to be an issue with most other databases (though I’ve noticed it happening in Ancestry’s SSDI index, too). So it looks like you’ve gotten 31 hits for your search, only no, it’s really just 13. This isn’t a huge deal when you only get a short list of returns, but if you’re dealing with a common name, the list can be overwhelming. Even more so when you find the list is actually 2-3 times as long as it needs to be.
If I wanted the date to be a range, I’d have set it up that way in my search criteria.
