Since I posted my original message I called them again. I was told, "Sorry, but that is no longer a feature". I have been vocal in the past about how the search engine "picked" names. Some years ago I found a few obits and was able to make connections, but that is long gone. The newspapers for that area are no longer associated with Ancestry.com for whatever reason. No use asking and getting a "canned" answer. Their search engine capacity is not compatible to finding what "exact" information you are looking for. When I check "exact" that's what I expect it to be...and it's not.
I just went to the Obituary Collection...Typing in death for the first name and notice for the last name - nothing else - brought up 5,154 hits. Typing in guest for the first name and book for the last name - nothing else - brougt up 20,913 hits. Too bad they couldn't be that "exact" on names that people are searching for.
