Silverfox et al: I've seen your posts before regarding only using FTM without sync and I always wonder if you really like the Web Search function? I have generally used the AMT side for looking at and adding hints and the FTM side for most everything else. If there is a hint on FTM I can get click on the leaf and get Web Search to work but if I just want to research someone with no hints it generally hangs and won't even give me a search page. And searching Fold3 or Find-a-Grave or FamilySearch seems really too difficult to deal with - although I admit I didn't try super hard.

Do you have any secrets you could share? Is there a particular set up to easily get these? I'd rather not sync - although mostly it works it stopped for the last week or so. I really hate relinking because it seems to go get all the hints I've already told it to ignore and the media takes so long.

Thanks for any advice on this. Lori
