BUG - What did y'all just change with "Find"?

I refreshed my page and the search went from multiple pages to no results found.

Something is very wrong the the way places are handled. I've been using "Versmold" as a place with the Find feature. Up till a few hours ago, that would find entries no matter what variation of the name was used. Now, I get different results, or no results, based on how I specify the place: "Versmold, Halle", "Versmold, Westphalia", Evangelisch,Versmold,Westfalen,Prussia.

I have to use Find in the Family Tree because the indexed records are not searchable. I can see the records, but I can't search for them. I have to find a person in the tree, and then open their sources.

    Yes. I tried several variations of wildcards. I am researching the mid 1700's. The Evangelical church records have developed some kind of problem. The indexes stopped being searchable a couple of years ago. Now searching the family tree is all but worthless.
