I'm not sure what you mean. The "more than one way to find people in searches" are met with the piped names.

"Orthography reforms making 'Å' official were carried out in Norway in 1917 and in Denmark in 1948." [replacing the 'Aa'] This means that people with names containing 'Aa', such as 'Aasne', 'Aage' and 'Aase' or surnames ending with '-gaard', after the reform could choose to use the 'Å/å' in their names instead. So people born before the reform were christened using 'Aa/aa'.
