Full-Text Search: Find Records Faster with the Help of AI
While FamilySearch has billions of digitized historical records available to browse, only a small portion of them are indexed and searchable. However, with the aid of artificial intelligence and handwriting recognition technology, now over 1 billion more historical records can be searched. Full-Text Search is a powerful new tool that allows you to search unindexed record collections.
By returning search results in minutes or even seconds, this tool is helping thousands of users find relatives in documents they hadn’t considered before. Discovering new evidence in previously unsearchable records has helped users add names to their family trees.
