This is one of the viewing permissions in account settings. I just don't know what is meant by "directory search results"

    Hello @Bruchele Cleverly

    Just adding to what @Brett . has so well informed us in his post.

    I think the Directory Service is used in FamilySearch messaging systems such as RootsTech Chat and the Ask Me Anything help experience which were available for use during RootsTech (and for a period of time afterwards).


    These knowledge articles may be helpful -

    The Directory Service doesn't seem to be available in the FamilySearch Messages available through the envelope top right of your screen.

    FYI

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    That, is in the "Settings", of Our 'FamilySearch' Account, under the "Permissions" 'Tab' ...

    And, relates, to the "Profile" 'Tab', in the "Settings", of Our 'FamilySearch' Account ...

    Plus, what one ALLOWS "Other' Users/Patrons, to 'See' of you ...

    Here is a "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':
