I'm using Ancestry.co.uk tonight, on the complete BMD search,
1837-1983.
It keeps returning to matches, even if I put in Smith, 1925.
I've never had trouble on this kind of search before. Is it just me?
No - it's Ancestry. I wonder why they keep fiddling around with working
databases, and why they so often mess up after they've done so.

No need to wonder...
they are experimenting with new, better, improved features that users
have neither asked for nor want!

This, of course, denies resources to fixing the old features that they
indroduced that have never worked properly.

" Ancestry- its future is all in its past!"


Web site authors don't seem to realise that what they're writing is software and development should include the little thing that go to make up software development - like regression testing.
