We have been working on improving those on the new search interface.<BR/><BR/>I've been involved in many conversations with ancestry.com users. Some are very experienced, some are new to genealogy.<BR/><BR/>I think what people really want is better results. And that is where we are focusing. It's not a quick thing. We have over 27,000 data sets that are very varied in what they contain and how they are structured. <BR/><BR/>That said, I'm watching to see what the results are. It's an interesting data point as we continue to work on improving search.<BR/><BR/>Anne Mitchell <BR/>Sr. Product Manager, Ancestry.com SearchAnne Gillespie Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00451657375587655764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-28008400628578514822009-01-06T01:35:00.000-07:002009-01-06T01:35:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Navyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379809462619595155noreply@blogger.com
