Thank goodness I have finished my own family history in NSW and have a sub to ancestry...and as many of you are aware, I am not a fan of their databases but at least easier to use than the present NSW bdm.  :-X :-X

I suggest we all notify NSW BDM of our concerns

Found the search button thanks to the advice of all.

Profoundly unimpressed overall.

How best to let the administration know

BTW, does anyone have access to any other Australian forums which might have contributors with viewpoints on the subject?

Oh my goodness, what a cumbersome interface :(

The old one was so much easier to to just pop in various names and dates and bring up lists. I'm sure on the old one I could search marriages just by the groom's surname - it's not letting me do it with the new search engine. :(

Meantime the old search screen has not been taken down and is working the way it always did. Thus-

I'm bookmarking this and hoping they don't take it down :P

I can view births and deaths okay.....but NOW will they have the correct reference number?

My problem are marriages......the partner's name/s are required.....isn't that often the reason for the SEARCH :'(

Essie

I second this gripe.
This is mad. The reason I am searching for marriages of "Joe Smith" is because I don't know who he married.  But I can't seem to do a marriage search for "smith" in a particular time period ....
Just wondering - if I put * in bride name boxes it might work .... Off to check

Why are there no district names coming up?
Entire column seems to be perpetually blank in every trial search I do.
That's not good

I had not tried the asterisk before, and did a trial just now by entering a groom's surname. It came up with a list of marriages for me.  Thank you Cocksie.
