All Collections Search

Where did the All Collections Search go to?

Mary T Wilson

Hi @CathyAH - The Search All Collections has been removed on the new home page. This has been reported in other conversations as well and we appreciate you giving us your feedback as well. This is not currently planned to be restored but stay tuned for future updates.

I was reading today, on the Help Page, that the Search All Collections widget would be on the home page as a widget that would just allow you to simply typing in basic info on an ancestor you could quickly and easily find him/her in historical records, Family Tree, or Memory. I do not have that widget on my home page. Are you now saying it has been removed and is not planned to be restored? I would love that widget.

I totally agree with Shauna's comment!! I would love that widget as explained in the "What's new on the homepage?" features too!

I really liked the All Collections Search and found it very helpful.

Thanks for the feedback @Shauna R Lund! There is currently not a plan for that widget to be restored but many have asked about it. Stay tuned for future improvements!

The new knowledge article about the new home page mentions "All Collections Search."

@CathyAH - just a follow up - the Search for an Ancestor is now available on the Home page in the Dec 16 release.
