With Global Family Tree Search, not only have we improved the project search function, but we’ve added a search of myFamilyTree nodes. Let’s look at how it works! First go to www.familytreedna.com (of course). You’ll see in the upper right corner where the search field has been expanded. Type in a name to find individuals and projects. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/26bcaab8bde9422333e23a58f55e05df> Type in a name to find individuals and projects. Here’s the whole page. It’s a bit hard to see, but we’ll look at the components in a minute. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/042c0f7378f9d03d0978ee68582bd501> There’s a search bar on the left that can be expanded to search by date of birth, location, etc. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/8674abde07b60c2ac6fcf1dd80f13810> In the center of the page, you'll see individual search results. Here’s the way those individual search results look if you’re not logged in to a kit. Someone browsing the site sees that there are matches to the name, and they’re instructed to buy a Family Finder test to see if they match. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/84d64089e6102f717bb5bb8e732a7724> Here are the group results of the search. The list includes projects which list that surname in the project. The group name is clickable if they have a public website. As you can see below, Gone To Texas does not - it’s a private family group that is set to be visible in the search. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/e1da12c5cdb4f74fdc9d361c494c90f9> When you log into a kit, your results will look essentially the same, with only slight differences. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/1ca39638c9f7bf9daa9062f708ac40ce> If someone has set his or her profile to private, but the tree is public, you'll see the top kind of selection. If the person's profile and tree are both public, you'll see the bottom kind of match. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/7b7244ef09a047b599b2461687d842a4> If someone’s tree is restricted to matches only, you’ll see that you need to be a DNA Match to see the result. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/3d3ffe6fcec18e1d28d28302d97de1fc> You’ll also notice a new menu on the left of the page, indicated by the three lines with the small V pointing down. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/29b587a7c44f852060095610415156d0> Here's the expanded menu that's more friendly for mobile devices. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/c8e2a534ac87709a04e309f8e3f30470> To change how your tree or your profile is displayed, click on the menu in the upper left corner to go to the privacy settings or the account settings. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/cda1522d14637a9f0c7077bd93e11a4f> <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/ec95ed9e95bb7b747c0e52765ad36cd6> Under the Genealogy tab, you can choose your family tree settings at various levels. This page also links to other privacy setting pages, like what profile information we can show to non-matches. Under Account Settings you can choose the info we show to non-matches. Set your profile to full, basic, or private. <http://static.sendgrid.com/uploads/UID_903056_NL_6249448_84c7fb2809615874b8e9fe72b129655e/68ec1f0f6df72e0c6b64ca68bee7cf37> Hopefully, this tutorial will help you with the basics of this new feature that should significantly improve access to projects.
