    I made a number of points about my experience searching, including lack of an advanced Search, lack of dates in the catalog entries for the book results, and the same book showing multiple times in the search results

    Regrettably there has been no feedback whatsoever from Family Search. Not even a comment, and certainly no change that I can see.

    it is really annoying and terrible that there are continously big changes in this FamilySearch-system - consequently we cannot use Family Search any longer!!!!!!!! - so sorry. WHY ARE YOU DOING SUCH THINGS???????????

    Sorry Michael D. Webber that I posted my (general) comment as a response to your entry! I simply could not find another way after almost an hour of searching how I can post a simpole general comment!

    I am not connected with FamilySearch.

    Regarding the FamilySearch Digital Library, sadly there appears to have been NO attempt by FamilySearch to make improvements since my post above of March 2019. The only conclusion I can draw is that FamilySearch management/leadership has ZERO interest in the FS Digital Library.

    Hahnswiss, if you go to the FS Community Home page https://community.familysearch.org/en

    there is an article How to Get Help in the Community

    Although the article doesn't mention the Ideas category at all, you can also click on Ideas on the left hand side of the webpage, and then select a relevant subcategory to post.

    You need to be specific about what part of the FamilySearch system you have concerns if your concerns are not about the Digital Library.
