Restore the geographic search

I understand the need to make some things more accessible to more people. However, there should also be something for users who know what they want. The old geographic search was quick and easy and one could get the results very quickly. I haven't figured out how to find them now and searches yield a multitude of responses, many not applicable.

Call the old search an advanced search or whatever you will, but please restore the geographic records search!

    Do you mean limiting to a location via the map? That has bee replaced by the Search By Place box on the Search page:

    Or do you mean in the main search form? Click on More Options to expand the box then choose Location and enter it:

    That will limit the results to just that location. This explanded box as all the options the old search form did and they all work the same way.
