BUG REPORT - Location Research Landing Pages
As of yesterday, 20 Sep 2024, the Location Research Landing Pages no longer accept keyboard or copy/paste name input making it impossible to search by Location. I've tested on 2 computers and 4 different browsers. I've also verified with a colleague that he sees the same non-functioning behavior.
For example, the New York State research page: https://www.familysearch.org/search/location/22?region=New%20York
or the Ireland research page:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/location/1927084?region=Ireland
Try entering First Names or Last Names.
I've reported via Feedback, but I've never been sure if that report goes anywhere useful.
@Sam Sulser @Stephanie V. @Ashlee C. Could someone please escalate these issues?
Thank you.

Thanks - you've been traveling in the TARDIS, I think.

@Stephanie V. is there any news on the 'outstanding issues and their progress' page that I was told months ago was under consideration for development? Good for this sort of thing, but really important for long-lasting and impactful data problems such as those caused by index editor glitches and by placename standardisation.
