    I took this feature in use right away and got many hints, which I would have needed to search manually previously. I love it.

    But there is a link on the article which does not work! Near the end is the sentence:
    "You can also see record hints in the Hints section on the home page when you are signed in."
    The home link goes to https://www.familysearch.org/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en/home/en...

    Thank you. Also, thank you for releasing this feature in a careful way. It has been interesting to use search and not be able to find what was easily found using Ancestry, however the restrictions were definitely needed. After so many patrons added all hints because: "it came from FamilySearch, so it must be right" reasoning, it is great to see a better way to supply the hints.

    Thank you again.

    Before turning on this feature, I'm finding that adding the Married Name for each female occasionally leading to new record hints. I'm curious if the three star recommend feature does better at picking up on females married names based on relationships currently listed. It'd be nice to save some time on time entering married names for females just to get those extra hints.

    The expanded hints feature gave me a hint that lead to breaking down the brick wall on my paternal line. It took a lot of work but I would have never found what I needed without the 3-star hints.

    THANK YOU more making this available.
