Why have you changed the search input page.

Why have you changed the search input page. It is no longer possible to force searches to specific names, areas, times, countries etc. We used to have a box that we ticked. This means we now have to trawl through thousands of completely irrelevant items. If I know for sure a name or place, I do not want to have thousands of other records; if I want the USA I will ask, If I want war records or the like I will ask. Give us the possibility of filtering out data.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    You are not alone ...

    We are ALL "... experiencing difficulties ...", to put in mildly ...

    Here are some posts, by a representative, of the "Search" Team, that 'Designed' and 'Developed', the NEW "Results" page/screen, of "Records Search" ('FamilySearch'):

    [ The posts appear in the order that they where posted ... ]

    I hope, that some of the information in these posts, may offer some help/assistance.

    And ,,,

    Just a thought ...

    You may like to ADD, your thoughts/comments, in those particular posts; so that, your thoughts/comments, like those of MANY other UNHAPPY Users/Patrons, ARE 'seen', by the Team, in 'FamilySearch', that 'Designed'; and, 'Developed" the NEW look "Search".

    ps: And, there are OTHER posts throughout this Forum, where the instigator of the above posts has responded with, advice; direction; instruction; help/assistance, on the NEW "Results" page/screen, of "Records Search" ('FamilySearch').

    Is anything happening? I make a search and get 7000 irrelevant. It has gone from the best search engine to the worst.
