Biggest problem I have is when a search shows e.g. 50 results but the totals under the various filters come to a much smaller number. With only 50 results its not too much hassle to trawl through them all. But when dealing with a relatively common name it can throw up hundreds of possibles.

I think that's the root of the problem, in that the locations are not classified correctly. If you do a search without any location (i.e. All-Ireland) you can see, for example, Dublin North records listed - but no combination of the available filters will show them, and if you re-do the same search entering county Dublin on the search screen - they dont appear. I think they may have ended up in some 'blank' location, similar to the they way the South Dublin ones are currently classified as 'South Australia'
Looking back I think there may always have been a bit of problem with certain searches - e.g. a search for for Dublin records didn't seem to always show all the districts (Dublin north/south, Rathdown & Balrothery) - but filtering an all-Ireland Search would sometimes show a better result.
fingers crossed that they will figure it out from the details we have given them...
