How to search by date added to the system??
Search filtering based on date added to FamilySearch
I am a person who constantly and repeatedly is reasearching a given set of topics over a long period of years - as an example researching the surnames of YANCY/YANCY ( "a one name study" )
I sure wish there was a way I could search on records for people with surname YANCEY - but do so in filtering the results with those that have been created/added in the last X months - etc - so I can more easily see what is new to FamilySearch.
otherwise - I just continue to muddle through the same exact things that I have found before . . .
I want to quickly and easily see WHAT IS NEW.
This could apply to Family Tree, Records Search, Memories, Catalog or even other areas.
I just find myself wasting way too much time - muddling through the same old stuff again and again - when I shouldn't have to.

Same.
Why I need this: As a global surname study reaches maturity, 100% of relevant historical records in FS have been attached to PIDs. Depending on the surname, there can be 10k, 100k, 1 million, 10 million plus records. More records are coming online all the time, but finding new, unlinked records amid all the rest becomes more and more difficult.
The Guild of One Name Studies has launched a Lewis surname study: https://one-name.org/name_profile/lewis/
For Lewis, FamilySearch has over 11 million historical records.

@Dennis J Yancey did you get the opportunity to put this idea in the Ideas section as yet in Community. Also, you may already be aware of the solution gallery in FamilySearch, to see if a 3rd party can assist with this solution. Have you checked there to see if another product would be satisfactory to what you are wanting? How do I find partner products?
