My RootsMagic 8 file has about a bazillion records with the Note field populated. The note is followed by  
– MERGED NOTE ------------  
and then a repeat of the original note.

I can find all of them with Search Everywhere but I hate to have to individually edit each record to remove the extraneous data. I’m looking for an easier way to get rid of this stuff.
