Hi Barry No they try and steer any new users to new search but Old Search is still there and thank goodness for that ! Log in to Ancestry Click the search in the top bar menu On the following screen look top right and select Go back to Old Search On the next screen enter a tick in Exact Matches only And you are now in control of your search Unlike the blunderbuss version in New Search Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 27/04/2013 01:58, Barry's Email wrote: > How does one get on to old search, I thought they had done away with it? > Thanks Barry
