FamilySearch text in documents search.
« on: Monday 02 June 25 14:13 BST (UK) »
Not sure it is 100% reliable but does appear to be a good way of searching for ancestors names in the Full-Text Search results.

https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/full-text/results?count=20&q.text=%22Dennis%20helsdon%22

If you type for instance, "John Riches" then keyword "Norfolk" it will give results from court records/wills/overseers records etc.

Records that are only available at an affiliate library and LDS Centre are not included, but records which have been uploaded which are free to anyone can be searched, such as many Norfolk, Sussex and Essex records.
