Is downloading records no longer available?

HettieMid

I see that FamilySearch website has changed. I used to be able to download the results of record searches so that I could browse the list in a spreadsheet. Has this feature been removed please? Thanks.

(If it matters, I went to beta.familysearch.org to access the new search. I have no idea whether there are any differences between it and the limited-rollout live version.)

@ HettieMid Now that someone found the buried way to export your search results on the new search records page, you might want to click the Feedback button that you should find on the right side of the search records page and request that it be easier to find. This is a great opportunity to get feedback directly to the folks developing the interface.

Thanks everyone! It is there for me now under the new layout. Yes I will give FamilySearch feedback!

FYI

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Short Answer: NOTHING has "Changed", we can STILL export "Search Results" from a search.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Brett but the screenshot you give is what I have used before happily but the screen I get now is a different display. So something has changed!

Right ...

OK ... that must be the 'New Look' SEARCH page/screen.

NOT everyone one can 'see' that; nor, even get it each time.

Such has only been released to a 'select few'.

And, the responses that I have 'seen' are NOT that encouraging, to say the least.

As, I am not one of the 'select few' ...

Just in passing ...

Two (x2) quick thoughts ...

▬ Have you tried that "MORE OPTIONS", to 'see' if the ability to EXPORT the Results is HIDDEN there?

and,

▬ What about at the BOTTOM of the page/screen, to 'see' id anything is there?

Sorry, I cannot be of any help/assistance, on that 'New Look' SEARCH page/screen.

Thanks again Brett. The More Options link merely opens up the search criteria box on the right hand side to offer an advanced search. The bottom of the screen just allows you to move on to the next part of the list as normal. Thanks for your help.

Confusingly, the export function on the new search is under More Options - Preferences.
