What if 2 names are highlighted? is there a way to index them both separately?

@AnthonyHopkins5

I will contact some of those in FamilySearch smarter than me and see if we can find a solution. I have run into the same situation in the past. I recently saw this post and don't know if it will help in these situations.

In looking over FTS result today I find a feature to edit the transcript

Upon selecting text in the Transcript you can edit as desired

If I copy the modified text to the clip board the change is reflected. Upon performing subsequent FTS the modified text also appears to be saved.

I am curious if my edit will be seen by anyone else. ThisFTS queryshould get you to the image.

I think changes made this way will impact not only the displayed transcription but will also change what results you get using the old vs new wording as a keyword phrase… e.g. +"utterly northlen" will no longer generate any results. Probably not just for me but for anyone….

I've got mixed feelings on this… On one hand this seems like a good idea to get a human addressing 'perceived' errors in transcription and potentially improving search results. But then again, if I changed the text to read something totally wrong, it would cause FTS results to be badly impacted. Kind of like Family Tree 'merges' that are easily facilitated then come to find out it makes a mess of things
