It would make a lot of searches much more efficient - and save climate-killing server use - if one of the main search results was the person's job.

This isn't part of the entry in all results, but in many - census entries and death certificates, and some birth and marriage certificates - it is.

If you're looking through many Seamus Murphy entries but you know that your ancestor was a farrier or a compositor or a cook, having the job as a choice would narrow things down considerably.

    The biggest problem with this idea is that in over a decade of genealogy research, I've never seen an index that included an occupation/profession/job field. Never. Therefore, implementing this would involve re-doing the indexing of all of those censuses and vital records. That's not going to happen.
