It has been online for awhile but was more informative when they first posted it. In the beginning they had a good deal of the information that was on the marriage record in the database. Concerns about privacy issues caused them to abreviate the information. Too bad - with that information, an actual marriage record was not necessary. They have a "word wheel", their version of soundex, which allows you to search several variations of the surname at one time. The search engine will even work with just the given names of the bride and groom.
