Tried it this evening. Not sure I like it. I sort of prefer the original one where you can just pick the census - or whatever - from a list and hunt around in there. Maybe I need to try it with other things ...

On the fence on this at the moment!

Thank you Marilyn, there wouldnt have been picture as such but pictue of a letter , so thanks for checking that out for me dear ;;;can rest a bit easier now ;;;


Babs

Not that impressed with the new search facility but at least I can now view image which I could not do this morning.

Babs

Just tried searching for your Thomas Stroyd, its okay didnt show any pictures, just sort of blank picture frames. No one would be able to see them except you without your permission.

Marilyn

PS Still love it more than the other way

I've been using this for the past week and i hate it!

Oh right sorry dear ;;;

Babs

Babs,

The problem started before I tried the new search facility.

Had no problems last night when I did not have the new search facility.

Oh well it will sort it self out.

Maureen

Oh dear m you can tick something to go back to the old way of searching ;;;

Babs

Ancestry
I want to scream !!!!!

That new search facility has appeared this morning and I can not view a single image

Maureen

Oh never thought of that ,,,
can someone tryThomas Stroyd b 1858 Dudley for me on the new one and see if anything comes up ;;thanks

Babs

I think only you can see you own piks on private, get someone else to view it.

What information bar? Have I got one?

Meg

Well I managed to get into it but wasnt very happy ,,,I have a privatre tree on there but when doing the search on the new way loads of my family pics are coming up, I dont think that fair ;;
Im bit disgusted at that ;;

Babs

someone had a thread about this about a week ago ............................ I was like Lyndi. Couldn't find the test search try as I might.


Some people on that thread were not impressed with the new search as I remember.


However, I see that I do now have the New Search Preview Button!!

My attempts to log on to the new search pages a couple of times yesterday and being told I had not got an invitation seem to have paid off lol.

Today I suddenly got access!
Have only tried one search - no new info but I was impressed with the way the results were displayed.

I would sooner have this way myself, but not sure if it is just a trial or not, says preview somewhere and asks for your feedback on the new way of searching, which I have done. Been on there all afternoon and have found it a lot easier, you can put children and siblings in the search facility too so it narrows it down even more.

Maybe it is the case that some have been chosen to try it and others havent, dont think this is fair though, you would think they would want everyone to try it. Perhaps we will all be able to have a go eventually.

Marilyn

Didn't have the option to try the new search yesterday but I have today!!

Have given it a go but it seems to be slower loading pages than the old way. No new info forthcoming either.

I wonder if this new search thingie is the reason so many people are having problems viewing images and finding BDMs

Well I found it and tried it but the page is too big for comfortable reading, It means a lot of juggling from side to side to read it all. I suppose nobody likes change, but it needs a little refining.

I think you can only see that button if you have received an invitation to preview and trial.
I can't see it, but it does say to keep checking back as the preview will soon be available to everyone.
