Have been using and LOVING the full text OCR index. Using it would be aided by this help:

  1. Make it so we can search for a name in quotes AND a keyword. Currently it is OR. Which is useless (returns all results of either term). This is my primary request!!
  2. Make it so links we have already visited STAY marked as visited. Now, not only are they all wiped clean at the next session causing a "start again" situation (revisiting the same documents multiple times), but if in the same session I search for a name and visit a result, and then I search for another name which appears in the same result, the search engine doesn't realize I've already seen the document.
  3. Make it possible to deliver results in chronological order.
  4. And, duh, make it so I can actually leave feedback by clicking the link on left side of the page.

I don't mean to quibble, this is really a magnificent jump forward! Thank you!

Jane

    @Jane Peppler There is a dedicated group for Full Text Search Feedback.

    Also, the Feedback button works poorly if you have any adblockers active on FamilySearch. AdBlock Plus, uBlock Origin, and Malwarebytes BrowserGuard are all known to affect the FS Feedback button adversely. There are surely others.
