Unless it is just me, Family Search has become far less useful in the last couple of days. (I am referring to the normal free lookup site, no login or anything, and searching for British records usually baptisms etc where you have partial information). Suddenly they have added a clone of FreeBMD, i.e. GRO indexes, inaccurately labelled as "England and Wales, Birth Index, 1800-1920".
So my search just now for a birth, child named Harris, parents Arthur and Hannah, place Worcestershire, which would have produced a few likely entries, now produces every Harris birth in the county, as there are no parents' forenames in the index to use as a filter. In other words the wanted entries from parish records are swamped by unwanted entries that I have already seen on FreeBMD.

If instead of slagging them off on the forum you had looked at the results page you would have seen you could refine the search by giving the parents names
For example searching for Harris Place England , Worcestershire gives 81,434 results.
However the search may be refined either on the original search page or on the results page by searching by Type (Birth,Baptisms, Christenings, Marriage, Death, Census, Census etc., Immigration and Naturalization, Military, Probate, Other : Batch number, Film number : Life event, Birth, Marriage, Residence, Death, Any : Relationship : Spouse, Parents, Other Person
In other words quite a range of sensible filters
Do not forget the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pay tithes to support Familysearch so that you can search their database for free.
Familysearch is and has been since its inception at the forefront of family history research and should be congratulated in their efforts.
If it was not for familysearch it is doubtful that many of the records available online would have been made available as familysearch was used as a model for such online databases.
That is not to say it is perfect, but just think what was offered before familysearch came online.
