Am I the only one who is finding that searching by ED is incredibly frustrating? Unless you know the exact address, it takes hours to find someone. Are there plans to have the capability of searching by name? It seems that if you already know the location, the census isn't all that helpful, unless you are just searching for family composition and details.

Yes, eventually there will be a searchable index.  I'm on the list to index but haven't received anything yet for the 1940 census.
