Search Function Changed?

If I search for someone from the main Rootsweb page, in WorldConnect, it no longer gives me a list of results! It gives me a list of surnames, but no WorldConnect results! What is going on???

I'm not finding the change you describe, works normal.

What results do you see at the top?

From this page: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

Put in a name you know that has results, into the **left** search boxes (Rootsweb).

When you get the results, do you see at the top of the results, a link for Worldconnect and a link for Surname list?

Here's the return from a common name search.

I never the WCT from the main page (the link you posted). I go to the WCT page.

Yes, well, you don't have the results for WorldConnect there. The link for those results used to come up just above the surname results. So you are getting the same result that I am.

I just changed the bookmark on my browser directly to WCt. Still, it's irritating, when I want to see everything that comes up with a person's name, I have to do two searches, not one.

Thanks -

That is a metasearch results page --- not a result from within WorldConnect.

I'll take a look and see if the link has changed or if the program has changed.

Randy, is this still a problem? Appears to be, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for checking.
