I am a longtime user of FamilySearch, and I used to think that FamilySearch had the most flexible search engine---that it would capture more spelling variants than other web platforms. It seemed to return a wide range of useful results. However, in the past few years, the search engine seems to be getting worse with every modification that the engineers put forward. This has led me to using Ancestry and Findmypast much more often than FamilySearch. Please take a look back and see if you can figure out what has gone wrong that is limiting the useful results.

    I totally agree. The system is constantly giving error messages when trying to view an image.
