Why the change in "Find"?

We can "Find by Name" or "Find by ID". It used to be that when I did a find by ID, then another find it would show me the find by ID form. So I could easily do several find by ID one after another and never see the find by name screen.

But now it always returns to find by name when I return from a find by ID. So I have to click on find by ID again. That is an unnecessary nuisance click.

Please put the find feature back to what it was.

If I do a find by name, then go to do a another find it should present a find by name screen.

If I do a find by ID, then go to do a another find it should present a find by ID screen.

Thanks.

    Yes, FamilySearch changes are often not ideal. Sorry for your frustrations.

    We ask for your patience with FamilySearch and its limitations.

    Please be assured that updates are ongoing, and we do appreciate your feedback.

    That is one thing that should not have disappeared "during an update". I agree 100% with previous commentor. I've entered and edited thousands of my family records (very wide extended family and very deep ancestor trees), entered many, edited my own.

    If I have to do a "from scratch" search and select from a list of possibilities, I am not a happy camper and don't feel respected, nor feel respectful of that decision or the overall product.
