THANK YOU for the source box improvements!
I would like to humbly offer a burnt sacrifice to whomever pushed forward with the improvements to the source box. I have over 6,700 (and counting) sources, and it was nigh impossible to find anything I'd previously entered. I see this morning, accompanied by the sounds of angels on high, that there is now a search feature.
I could absolutely weep for joy.

This improved Source Box is really big news!
I probably haven't noticed all the improvements yet, but I see:
- A search tool
- Source Date edit field (please add this to the Source Linker too)
- Filters (oh joy!)
Very few of the over 2100 items in my source box are recent. It became so unworkable that I basically stopped using it.

And there is a blog about it:
https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/familysearch-updates-enhance-your-experience
The blog doesn't mention the ability to enter a source date, which is perhaps the most exiting new feature. There is this one huge family genealogy book I have been working with that lists thousands persons. Having to add the date every time I attached that source to a person ID was driving me nuts.
