When I search catalog for PLACE "Heist-op-den-Berg"; there are ten suggestions in dropdown. Select ANY of these suggestions; they ALL return "No results found".

When I search "Heist-op-den-Berg" as TITLE; the system manages to find "Belgium, Antwerpen, Heist-op-den-Berg, registers van de Burgerlijke Stand".
Why was this NOT FOUND when searching by PLACE?

Also, I know the microfilm numbers (ex: 621438) for some church records in "Heist-op-den-Berg". Why are these NOT FOUND when searching by PLACE?

Thank you for your time,
Frank Bax

    Caveat: I usually use the Keyword or Title fields to search the catalog because I generally get better results that way.

    Using Windows 11, Chrome, both fully updated.

    For this query, I started typing Heist, in the Place field, and selected the suggested top place
    Heist, Knokke-Heist, West Flanders, Belgium

    I had different results using Firefox.

    According to the Library staff the Catalog is still broken and use feedback to recover the missing information which is found in libcat.familysearch.org

    That is how I located Orscholz films
