N_M_L

A filter for connected / unconnected sources when searching records.

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).

I have the same issue while searching for new records, I have to scroll several pages of results that i already linked to profiles. It would be very helpful to be able to focus only on the ones that are not connected.

When will this new feature be considered for development and testing. If needed, I can offer to test. Thanks.

It is encouraging to see this feature request gaining votes, albeit slowly.

Sometimes I want to see only those historical records attached to Family Tree profiles; sometimes I just want to see only those not attached. I would also like to see counts of records attached, not attached, and with attachment hints.

This information provided right at the top of search results would save me so much time paging through the chaff looking for my wheat and would save FamilySearch CPU cycles and network bandwidth now wasted serving up all those pages of records I don't want.
