Search Results List/Time Saving Suggestion

LegacyUser

X24MOM said: When searching for a person using the option in the “person” section of family tree, can you guys please add a feature that lets us know which records (if any) from the search results that have already been attached to that specific person? Then the viewer can decide if they want to click on it and take a look anyway. It’s very frustrating when I perform a search and get a list of record results, only to click on each one and find that they have ALREADY been attached to the person I’m researching. I’m not suggesting they be removed from the search results but maybe highlight those results so we aren’t wasting so much valuable research time? Thank you for all that you do, I am very grateful for this service! I appreciate your time, attention and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you
Thank you,
X24mom

P. S. Personal info: I use my iPhone/iPhone web browser/safari for almost everything I do, I notice some features are different for users on different platforms.

I can't directly address your query as I'm not as familiar with the mobil apps. On this desktop this can "sort of" be done by clicking on the little pedigree icon on that source if it is there:


that will give you a fly-out that showing who it is attached to. You can then compare the PIDs to see if it is the same person or not.



But having a filter that would just remove all sources previously linked to the person in question would be pretty useful to reduce the clutter when searching for new sources.

FYI

The "@[Contact Name]" method that is used to reach out and 'Tag' particular Users/Patrons in the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum in a post, DOES NOT work in this "FamilySearch" ("Get Satisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum.
