I had the same experience with the global search. It came back with "no data", even for people I have found in the marriage and death index.

I used the death index in a search of surnames from aa to zz with a given name of Dorothy and found it worked well. I did find however that in going from a Statewide search to St Clair or vise-versa I had to always hit RESET and reenter the names. Small price to pay for such a wonderful data, congratulations to everyone who made this possible. And, in my search I did find my aunt who I had just about given up on.
