Why?

Why was arguably the best genealogy database search engine on the internet rendered virtually useless?

BTW I'm not a newbie I've been doing online research for 20+ years.

    Cuál es el mejor buscador de base de datos de genealogía en internet? estoy aprendiendo, siempre es muy bueno aprender de alguien que tiene mucha experiencia.


    he trabajado con family search y me parece excelente, es recomendable.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

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

    Just in passing ...

    And, in relation to, the "Changes" of, the NEW "Search Records"; and, the resulting "Results" page/screen ...

    You are certainly not alone ...

    We are ALL 'Struggling' ...

    And, just in case you, were not aware ...

    Here are some FOUR (x4) posts, in date (and, post) order of being posted, from someone, stating, to be part of the 'FamilySearch' Team that, 'Designed'; and, 'Developed", the the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", which appears, in some of the posts, to give some "Instruction", on HOW to use the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records".

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

    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').

    Now ...

    That Said ...

    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".

    As you can 'see' from those posts ...

    DESPITE, all the NEGATIVE 'Feedback', with regard to the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", from those that matter, the 'lowly' User/Patrons, where the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", was 'foisted' upon them; BEFORE, being "Fully" released to ALL User/Patrons - 'FamilySearch' RELEASED the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", to ALL Users/Patrons.

    As I already suggested ...

    You are not alone ...

    We are ALL 'Struggling'; and, NEED "Help", with the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records", which is NOT very 'User Friendly'.

    MOST Users/Patrons want the NEW "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records" to be "Reverted" BACK to the PREVIOUS "Results" page/screen, for "Search Records".

    But ...

    That Said ...

    SADLY, I doubt that will happen ...

    And ...

    Finally ...

    'FamilySearch' has made, MINOR "Changes", to the NEW "Search Records"; and, the resulting "Results" page/screen, hopefully such will keep occurring ...

    I know, that this DOES NOT help/assist; but, I hope, that this gives you, some additional, insight; and, perspective.

    Brett
