Record search difficulty

I am unable to find records that I know exist.

Example: In the shared family tree, a source is cited:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NT9L-YLX

for the following record

When I try to find the record on my own, I go to the record search page:

and get the following result:

which does not include the 1819 record which was cited.

What am I doing wrong?

    I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Search - Records seems to have gone off the rails: it can't find anything on that film. Well, it's either that, or the index for that film has been (silently) withdrawn sometime in the past two years (i.e., after the last time the Catalog was updated).

    The more I look, the more I think it must be the latter. Has Archion put up a paywalled index now, in addition to the paywalled images? That'd explain the disappearance from the indexed records of every film cataloged as being from the Lutheran church in Hille (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/60903).

    That record is on DGS 102656286. I isolated my search to ONLY that DGS, and there are zero results - no records at all from that DGS.

    It would appear that DGS is not currently loaded/searchable.

    @Maile L Could you please escalate? Thanks.
