    3. You don't need to be so snotty. When someone says there's a "global search" on a site, that means to me that there's a global search for the ENTIRE site, generally found on the main page (or at least a link to it there), not just for one of the databases. All I found were entries for the World Connect. That is NOT a global search of the ENTIRE site! Now that I know the secret that GLOBAL SEARCH does NOT mean for the entire collection but only for a specific database, I was able to find the "global" search on Ancestry under the Ancestry World Trees search page - which only searches a specific database.
