Make searches actually work

lindakinda

In addition to all the other horrible things about the new interface, apparently the update isn't interested in returning actual search results.

Here's an example.

I find a family tree on the site. There's someone listed there I am interested in (attached screenshot)

, I click on his death record. Attached screenshot.

Name on record is Henry von Girichten. I decide to search his name. Guess what. HE DOESN'T COME UP. Nope, what I get are all kinds of names that are not even close. Not even: Henry Vreekin Henry L. Vererka and the list goes on, and on, and on. Attached screenshot.

I set to search the EXACT last name (having to mouse, scroll, and click multiple times to accomplish what previously would take no scrolling or mousing) and I get NO SEARCH RESULTS FOUND. Seriously? It's on your site.

Not the first time in the last few days since I was forced to use this horrid, horrid, horrid new interface.

I was correct with my guess as to why you were not getting the required result: quite simply, the First Names have been indexed as "Henry von" instead of the "von" being indexed as part of the Last Name(s):
