Have they made changes to the site sometime today ?

I have always used the old search option and had the new search option showing on the right of the screen - this has disappeared.

On home page the search box showing under "Start your family tree" has changed.

The search box for the 1901 England census for example has changed and the way results are shown.

Viewing images has also changed.

Completely different to how the site was this afternoon.

No, its not changed. Sounds if its put you into the 'new search'. Try clicking on search at the top of the screen and then 'search all records'. You should then have the option of returning to the old search in the top right hand corner.

failing that are you in Ancestry.com instaed of .co.uk?

Hope this helps

Hi Andy

I guessed that might be the case but nothing I am searching gives me the option to get back to the old search.

Oh bother thats twice tonight - Internet explorer cannot display the webpage.
