First, I can't say how much I love full text search! I do a lot of Colonial Virginia research, & many deeds have creeks and rivers. I love that I can do searches by waterways to know I have the right Jones or Taylor family. A record I searched for 5 years, I found in less than 2 minutes with full text search. I also love the highlights. The difficult to read colonial handwriting is transcribed really well.

I noticed a date error I wanted to point out. A number of places labeled with the country as British Colonial America show up as "other" in the place results, (understandable because different country name) with the year marked as in the 1900's, but the title shows colonial Virginia. Here's two examples of a date error attached.
