We are pleased to announce that our search engine for historical records has been redesigned and improved. Searching our treasure trove of 12.5 billion historical records is now easier and more intuitive than ever before!
We redesigned the search engine to improve the user experience. Our main goals in this initiative have been the following:
- Provide faster performance to allow users to run more searches in less time
- Allow users to edit the search while viewing the search results, and run it again, to make it easier for them to locate the records they need
- Display more results on each page
- Simplify the experience by unifying simple search and advanced search into one search form that is simple to use and powerful in capability
Additionally, our search engine will automatically suggest typical filters in global searches, and more relevant filters that will enable you to narrow down your searches within the current category or collection you are searching in. We’ve also added icons under the record name to clearly distinguish between a historical record and a family tree record.
More improvements are in store over the coming months, including applying the new design when browsing our collections from mobile devices and more as described in the blog post. Stay tuned!
