This have nothing to do with quality of a Database.
I have not looked at this because I use a commercial Database (CA+Email
Service), but to check the quality you should look if a player is spelled
differently in games and if there is many doubles.
You will even find some of mine game in both Chessbase's and Chess Assistant's
databases but I wouldn't say the quality goes down if it is easy to sort out the
game you are looking for.
I would rather say that the quality is poorer if you don't find the games you
are listing, it could be exactly Mr. Appel I should play against tomorrow and
would have a nearer look at.
