ERROR REPORT - Record search by location fails

Áine.ní.Donnghaile

If I know the location, I usually start my search from that location to narrow the record search.

I have bookmarks set for the states I research most often. Just now, I needed to search in a state I don't have bookmarked. Trying to isolate a search to any location is not possible because of an error message.

Then, I tried searching on a state I have bookmarked, Illinois, and I got a different error message.

The same error message appears for any state. I tested Florida, New Jersey, and Alabama.

Windows 10, tested on both Chrome and Firefox, all fully updated.

@SerraNola FYI, please and thanks.

Engineering is reporting this fixed now. They did say some users may need to clear cookies:

Just a few minutes ago I tried Search by Place and it wouldn't let me search by US state; but, countries worked fine. As for Canadian provinces, Saskatchewan would load but not Ontario. Now it's completely broken. I can't even click on it.

Thanks for confirming that it's not just me, GFre. It is possible to search from the main search, more options, and then input a place (state or province).

Thanks, engineers are working on it.

Thanks, @SerraNola.

Seems all good; no cookie clearing required for me.

Thanks again to the Engineers!
