What do the multiple years mean at the bottom of each 'Full Text' search result; and, how do I access the information in each listed year (including citation)? -see attachment

I am a librarian in Texas and am trying to help a patron with this question; so, I would appreciate a timely response, if possible. Thanks!

Good morning.

For future reference, there is a dedicated group for Full-Text Search Feedback and questions. https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/336-full-text-search-feedback

Full-text search examines nearly everything in a record. It may, at times, interpret other numbers found as dates. It may also misinterpret an abbreviated date.

In this example, I had specified a range of 1882-1897 in my search.

The algorithm highlighted those dates it found within my parameters.

The page, an index to Deed Book A-M, 1852-1884, shows dates spanning the 19th century.

And, I suspect the "1783" year listed in that example is from a smudged page number.

The 20th-century years are likely misinterpretations of the abbreviated 2-digit years.
