How to download records from an exact search?
Before you introduced the new search interface, I was able to download exact search records and place them in a spreadsheet Now when I try that, I get one line saying exact search parameters are not supported. I would like to download all Richardson birth records for Suffolk County, England from 1500 to 1700. When I specify "Exact" for Suffolk County, I have less than 400 records that I want to download but can't under your new regime. If I remove the exact match restriction for Suffolk County, I get 4900 records, which is more than I want to download and surely more than you wish to allow. You may suggest, "Why don't you just download the first four pages?" But after the first page, I will start getting other counties and other dates that I don't want, which means that the records I do want are lost somewhere among the other 4500.
Can you please restore the possibility to download exact search records, or at least suggest a workaround?

@EdgarRichardson Engineers report that they have fixed the problem with exporting search results in which you use an exact search. Please try again and let us know if you still get an error message. Thank you.

I am seeing exactly what you report - "Validation failed. [Unsupported parameter=exactSearching=[true]]"
I agree - it would be nice to have this option for 'exact search'.

Thanks for your support, genthusiast. I didn't really expect an answer on Sunday.
