ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk) has been working flat out to try to get its platform back into good working order after its recent nightmare of an update three weeks ago (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2022/11/users-report-problems-with.html).
Yesterday it uploaded an updated list of issues that have been resolved, which can be viewed at https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/what-we-are-working-on.
Still being worked on:
Mother's Maiden name not displaying in the index on Statutory Deaths
Some users have reported that when searching on statutory deaths the search is working when using mother’s maiden name and it returns the correct image, however the index is not displaying the mother’s maiden name.
Wills and Testaments
Some users have reported issues in trying to view previously saved images.
Quick Search Issues
Some users have reported that the search function is returning far greater numbers of results than expected but when clicking on specific results no results are returned.
There is no sign of the promised reinstatement of the fuzzy search tool that was promised ten months ago at the next system update (http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2022/02/scotlandspeople-to-reinstate-fuzzy.html).
