INEFFICIENT FIND A NAME / FIND BY ID New Green Screen

I'm hoping you will welcome this feedback- I'm a 20+ yr Temple & Family History Consultant & noticed that the SEARCH function was recently changed to "Find A Name" or "Find By ID" & shows up in a green screen. We had this function before & it was actually much MORE efficient for several reasons: 1- smaller screen didn't require moving so far right of screen like new green screen & 2- most important is when searching by ID for multiple ID #s, which patrons use, it defaults back to Find By Name! WHY??? It used to stay on the ID search when you were using this function which was much faster & easier but now with this "improvement" (NOT) user must manually flip back to search by Find By ID every single time!!! It's NOT a good change. Please contact me if questions- Terry L. Ferguson, Temple & Family History Consultant, McKinney, Texas
