I prefer Old Search, the new one seems to need more typing and gives far more obscure results.
(Ditto for Familysearch!!)
I'm not a stick-in-the-mud, I just don't like change when it isn't for the better.
They sent me an email but I haven't done the survey yet....I will do it now but don't suppose it will make any difference!!

I am sure half the people on Ancestry, are not aware that they have the option too use the Old Search, they don't make it easy to find, and am sure a lot of user's would revert back, if it was made more prominent.
