Ancestry only searching Australia!
« on: Tuesday 27 June 23 14:27 BST (UK) »
When I try and search Ancestry from a profile page on my tree I can only get Australia. I cannot click on the drop down list to change the area I want to search. Has anyone else had this problem please?

Just to update, I have tried everything I can think of and still will not allow me to change from the Australia search. Even after closing everything down and starting afresh when I go to the initial search page and put in Joe Bloggs from Somerset. It still takes me to Joe Bloggs in Australia  >:(  I do not use the Australia search either which is doubly annoying.

I don't have a tree on Ancestry, but do have a subscriptiion. If you start a  "search" from the top toolbar, do you have the option to change "collection focus" to "all collections", or anything else? Or have you tried the "explore by location" on the map at the bottom of the "search" page?

Many Many thanks Matty. I had to go on the advanced search section and it let me change there, all working as it should now. ;)

Seems very strange doesn't it, but glad it's working for you now.  :)
