why the change?
As a serious researcher, I want to protest the new page that comes up when you go into the FIND mode. It is now in a banner and has links to other pages, which takes me on a "rabbit trail" I just want or need the option to find by name or id number. Perhaps the programmer, developer needed something to do, but this page is definitely not wanted or needed by a genealogist.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
You are not alone ...
MANY would agree ...
Here are three (x3) other recent posts on the matter ...

Improvement for "Find" Function in Family Tree

I know, that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I just wanted to let you know; and, assure you, that you are not alone.
As I stated in those posts ...
Unfortunately ...
Sadly ...
I would humbly suggest, that we are ALL now STUCK, with the NEW "Find" feature/facility/function ...
And, the PREVIOUS version of the "Find" feature/facility/function ... NEVER to RETURN...
And ...
It does appear, that 'FamilySearch', has decided to "Change" the 'look', of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', to appeal MORE to the "Younger" Generations; and, "Mobile" Devices, with SMALL screens.
Of course, at the expense, of the "Older" Generations, using "Computers and the ORIGINAL "Computer" Web version, of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
The "Programmers", seem to be DRIVING, all the NEW "Changes" ...
The Users/Patrons, are certainly NOT driving, ANY of the NEW "Changes"
Unfortunately ...
The Users/Patrons, DO NOT, seem to have a say, in the matter ...
Obviously ...
The (Younger) Programmers, seem to be bent, on "Change", just for the sake of "Change" ...
[ And, obviously, of course, keeping up with NEW "Innovations", with "Coding" ... ]
REGARDLESS of; and, RATHER than, the, WANTS; DESIRES; and, NEEDS, of the Users/Patrons ...
[ Especially, the "Older" Generations, using "Computers and the ORIGINAL "Computer" Web version, of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ... ]
It appears, that such Users/Patrons, NO LONGER have any, say; or, sway, any more ...
[ Especially, when it comes to, the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ... ]
What an unfortunate development ...
We are TOLD, that the, "Designers"; "Developers"; &, "Programmers", DO use "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'.
But ...
That Said ...
One DOES have to wonder, about such ...
Just my thoughts.
