changing search parameters.
Is there a way with the new search page to go from one search parameter to another without having to enter all the search information again. For example, searching for an ancestor and going from the 1910 census to the 1920 census to the 1930 census. It used to be easy but now it appears to be very time consuming and requires repeatedly entering some of the basic information.

I attempt to provide you a brief explanation of how to search for census connections. Hopefully this will be sufficient to get you started. I went to a person in FamilySearch -- Jane Ruth Cannell KWZR-S9L and click the FamilySearch - search for historical records --- figure below is the result of that action.
Note where collections is marked in the upper left - If you click on that icon it will open all of the collections that are on the list of found records. If you click collections the window shown below opens
Note on the right hand side you can mark any of three census records to search just that individual collection or you can mark more so say 1920 and 1930 to look for records in those census years.
Hopefully this brief explanation will provide the help you need to search specific collections. This is quite similar to the old search screens just another way to get there
