"they don't seem to have 'improved' the catalog"

They have added or updated almost 50 data sets since December 10th.

I meant improved the search page for the catalog where you can actually look at the microfilms. That is still the same simple, easy to use page it always was.
Don't get me wrong - as I said, I'm a big fan of familysearch. I've used it for many, many years and I think they provide a wonderful service, it's just this new look person search page is so unwieldy and frustrating. Not an 'improvement' in my humble opinion.

Many others have said the same.  I almost never use it anyway.  It seems sort of pointless when you can go straight to the database of interest and search more efficiently.
