pI've tried many times to love Ancestry.com's standard a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://search.ancestry.com/search/default.aspx?new=1ranked search/a - dubbed New Search by most of us who have been subscribers for years, despite the fact that it was released over a year and a half ago - but I'm still one of the 13% of Ancestry users who prefers and uses the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://www.ancestry.com/search/old search/a on a regular basis. I can just make it do what I need most of the time better than I can navigate the fuzziness of the newer ranked search. Apparently, I'm not the only one, as a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/author/tmacklin/Tony Macklin/a, head of Ancestry.com's Search team, says that a greater percentage of members using the old search tool find the records they are looking for, although this number is likely skewed by the fact that many of these users are the power users of Ancestry.com - the ones who really know how to manipulate search options to get the results they need./p
pOld search does have its limitations, however, which is why the demonstration of a new new search tool at the Ancestry sponsored Blogger Weekend really piqued my interest. I'm pretty sure I'm really going to like this one, and can't wait until it's released on the site for users./p
