Since the last time I used your account you seemed to have changed things. I now don't know how to search your historical records.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

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

    Just in passing ...

    In relation to, the "Changes" of, 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').

    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 hope, that these MAY help/assist, somewhat.

    Brett
