Why is search different
When you search for people in the tree, you can no longer input their parents or whether it's ADorBC. Did you intend to do this?

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
[ And, I have been a Staff Member, of Family History Centres", of the Church, for many Years ... ]
Just in passing ...
Firstly ...
Regarding, the NEW "Search" feature/function/facility ...
Question: Is this what you are looking for?
Regarding, adding the Parents ...
The "Search" OPTION, on the 'Right-Hand-Side', of the page/screen ...
"Move", the "Slider", right DOWN to the BOTTOM of the page/screen ...
Just "Select", each of the Parents; and "Add" their "Name", in the fields provided (ie. that will appear) ...
Then select "Search".
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
Secondly ...
Whereas ...
Regarding, I presume, 'Dates' for, "BC" (rather than "AD") ...
That is a "Very" GOOD 'Question' ...
As, I have not been 'looking', for any 'Dates', prior to "AD" ...
[ Since, the NEW "Search" feature/function/facility ... ]
And ...
As such ...
Just thinking out aloud, here ...
I would suggest, that the thinking is (or, was/may have been), possibly, using a "Minus" Sign preceding a 'Date'
eg. "▬100"
But ...
That Said ...
That is ONLY "Speculation", on may part.
I know, that this certainly may not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with another avenue to pursue.
Just my thoughts.
Good Luck.

Furthermore ...
'Yes', SADLY, the TOTAL "Change", of the appearance/format, to the "Search", WAS intentional ...
In reference to, 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 may NOT help/assist; but, I hope, that this gives you, some additional, insight; and, perspective.
