I personally don't like the way results of record searches now appear on GR.

There is nothing on the left hand side of the screen to distinguish the end and the start of a search result. You have to look at the right hand side of the screen where the transcript and view boxes are.

Edited: should have said when searching the Travel and Migration search. Isn't a problem on the newspaper archive.

Well, GR did warn us that they were making 'new' changes..............

Not sure what 'new' changes are, specifically............are there such things as 'old' changes, one wonders..................

Not that it affects me, as I never use GR for research.

i don't use GR for research anymore but thought I'd just throw in a surname into one of the search categories to see how the new search worked.

It looks better than it was before, at least you don't have to go to each individual census now

Nothing much

I like the way the results are displayed apart from the fact that I find the background too white and the lighter grey difficult to read. Thankfully I won't be using the records search on this site as I have full memberships to other sites.
