This needs improvement and meanwhile go back to what you had.
This new search is just plain Awful. Where is the option for exact/other spellings? I hate to be negative, but you have to go back to what you had and FIX this.
I have doing 30 years of searching andnow someone put this out?????? This is below your standard.

From one day to the next, FamilySearch went from my favorite search site to my least favorite! Where is the option to sort the databases alphabetically?? I have zero interest in which database has the most hits (which is how you arrange them), I want the one with the correct hit. Yes, I see I can search for a database. Of course, I would need to know what is available and what you called it. What if I am looking for something in an unfamiliar area and just want to see what is available for, say, Iowa? It's not possible to sort it alphabetically and see what there is for Iowa. I was just looking for an obit. The results no longer show me the date associated with the record. NOT helpful! The only "exact" search I have found is to search for ALL the info exactly. Well, sometimes I don't want to do that! I do not care how they spelled "Catherine" (Cs, Ks, ys - don't care), but I might want something else to be exact. But that option is gone. I suppose you paid someone to do this. Waste of money! You have made a wonderful resource extremely difficult, if not impossible, to use.

Just not happy with this new search format. It used to be my number one site to go to. Not user friendly at all!! You've lost me unless you go back to the way it used to be.

I have left my feedback elsewhere on here also. This new interface is really a disaster. You cannot search a particular first name or a particular surname but need to make the whole page 'Exact'? That is rubbish. Nothing is working properly. The search box is huge and it's on the wrong side of the page. I can't find anything. I am extremely sad and upset about this. It was great before. Sorry I.T people, admit your mistake and please please push the back button.

This went from a favorite site to a LEAST FAVORITE! This sucks. Can't figure it out. Please put it back the way it was?! 😓

Please go back to the old set up. I agree with everyone. This is not good. I can't find the info I need now and I have been a genealogist for 12 years.
