BUG - locations broke again
Since there isn't a category for the Find function, I'll post this on the Search category.
Places change names from time to time. People don't always enter those names historically correct.
Way back when, I could enter "Versmold" and Find could find all its permutations.
Then that quit working. After lengthy experimentation, I found that "Versmold, Westphalia" would work.
Now that is broken too. I used to be able to type "ver" and my recent entries would appear for me to select. Now I have to type out the entire, "Versmold, Westphalia", but then "Versmold, ... Ravensfeld, ..." gets auto inserted. That is historically correct, but it is rarely used in the index. So the Find comes up empty.
Then I have to type the entire "Versmold, Westphalia" Again, and carefully select the one for Westphalia, Prussia. That finds the entries that were assigned the most common choice. But it won't find the entries that were entered using one of the other permutations.
And I'm afraid to even try Loxten, which used to be a separate town, but is now incorporated into the city of Versmold.
There should be a way to find a place, that has had the same name forever, but has changed jurisdictions over time.
It's bad enough that I can't Search this index, but have to hope an entry is entered into the Family Tree. (I've posted this multiple times, but no response) But now Find has become almost useless.
Also, I'm really getting tired of constantly refreshing the screen, while I wait for the system to remember that I am logged in. I do a Find function, or just want to see the next screen of data from a Find I already did, and I get the screen that shows when my log in has timed out. I shouldn't be logged out after 3 seconds of inactivity.
