    I have asked for this feature for years. It would really help with my more complete projects, where I have already attached all historical records previously released on FamilySearch. When new records are added, they get lost among the 100,000 records I already worked.

    Alternatively, sometimes I want to see just those historical records that already are attached to person pages. This would be helpful to me when detangling conflated person pages.

    A related feature request: In the records search result filter menu, selection buttons and all in / all out buttons.

    (I love these added filters, by the way. Much appreciated!)

    Once I select a filter, I am stuck with it. I am not able to go back up the filter decision tree except by using the window back button in my web browser.

    I think that's a new bug, @dontiknowyou. You used to be able to click the previous/higher-up filter(s) to go back to them, but now the only one that works is the top level ("Any Birthplace"). Or that's what it's doing for me (Firefox latest, Win10).
