Navigating the site
This site might be fine for those who are highly computer literate, but the changes that you have made over the past few years has made it sufficiently difficult to find information or to allow me to use the search functions. As a result I have not used it in over a year, which is a shame as Family Search has loads of information, but unfortunately it has become too frustrating to use. Case in point, I responded to an email that I received this morning and got a spam response telling me that the site was not monitored. It directed me to another site, and only after a 5 to 10 minute search did I find this feedback Icon, and it likely is not where I should be responding.
Sorry to lay my frustrations on you, but you ruined a great resource by making it inaccessible to non computer gurus.

@Donna Gorber - Hello, my name is Piper, and I'm the community manager for FamilySearch. May I ask you to clarify whether you are referring to the search function here in the community or on FamilySearch.org?

i have found records and can not attach the record to my family member.
i cant just say look up the 1920 census to find my relative you have to use this search box that wont let you do simple records searches.
To be honest family search used to be fun and you ruined it period.
not to mention you do all this research and some dimwitt is allowed to change all your work, terribble.
family search has destroyed hours of work i painstakenly created, simply discusted.
