Is there something in the Search capabilities that I'm not aware of? I'd appreciate some advice on what to tell this poster. Thanks! Marilyn Marilyn- YES--the Classifications are there for search capabilities. They enable people searching the boards to eliminate queries from their search and search ONLY for Obits or Wills, or Deeds or the type of data they want to find. It doesn't matter to the person browsing the boards--but makes a big difference to those searching for specific data types--especially on large boards with many posts. The use of classifications in the current boards replaced a system under the old GenConnect boards where there was a suite of boards--each for a separate type of post--one query board and the rest data boards.
