Does Web of Science support Full Author Names?

We are currently only capturing full author names for newly indexed articles. Web of Science still requires that you search by last name and initial(s) and will not allow you to search by full author name. You can view full author names, if they exist, in 3 places: The Full Record Page, Record Output (Print, Save, Email) and Alerts. On the full record page, the full author name will appear in parenthesis next to the abbreviated author name. For emailed results, email alerts and saved text files, there will be a separate field for the full author name: ‘AF’ or ‘Author Full Name’ depending on the output format that you have selected.
