Using AI to continue searching through a given record and identifying additional surnames

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find it…

I have a digitized French doc showing as a source on FS as follows:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C331-H9G8-X?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3A6988-YZMM&cc=3460907&lang=en&groupId=

It shows that there was a Jaques Samson christened in 1686, son of Jonathan Samson and Susanne…

I can select "NAMES" on the top right to look at individual pages to see if there are additional Samson references, but it takes a lot of time to go through 1200+ pages.

How do I use AI to search through the rest of this specific collection to see if there are other Samson (Sanson..) records on other pages?

Thanks!

    If by "using AI" you mean using full-text search, the DGS has to have the full-text search option enabled.

    That record is on DGS 8540385, which is not yet full-text searchable.

    A DGS that is full-text searchable will have the appropriate icon.

    You could also isolate your search, by name, to the single DGS since that is an indexed collection.
    The DGS is 8540385.

    Or you could search with the specific surname(s) in the collection.
    France, Eure-et-Loir, Parish and Civil Registration, 1526-1902
