More Browsing Issues
Some of the "collections" that you can't browse appear to be made from multiple catalog items. And, there is only a partial listing in the associated Wiki. This means I must spend time trying various folks in the search menu only to get empty results because the sub-collection I need isn't available.
For instance, https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/United_States_City_and_Business_Directories_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records - there is not a complete list of cities included on the wiki page. And, I can't browse from the search page. So, I have no idea if there are any directories for Detroit, Michigan or Rochester, New York (or their suburbs), or any other place other than the few listed in the wiki.
Please, either add some capability to browse these collections, or include more complete information in the wiki. Plus, sometimes, I actually want to research a business, not an individual, and browsing facilitates that as well.
Also, why can't I seem to get to the directories of the cities that are listed through the catalog interface? I tried with Buffalo, New York. 6 directory entries are listed in the catalog for Erie County, New York. Only 1 of them has images - a single 1940 directory. Surely, you're indexing more if you've listed Buffalo on the database wiki.
