It would be useful if the Search facility could be enhanced to include the following.

• Ability to search for custom facts
• Ability to search on marriage facts
• Ability to search on marriage associations
• Ability to search for facts that have/haven't got citations
• Ability to search for facts that have/haven't got photos/documents attached
• Ability to create compound searches, such as people born after 1837 & died before 1915

I too seem to have difficulty in query writing- Perhaps you could Actually demonstrate HOW I can solve this issue

In pawing over my data recently I discovered that there were females that did not have a married name assigned. Just over 800 to be more accurate.

To prepare a list of those individuals requires a query like:

Sex MATCHES:  FEMALE

AND

Marriage date: EXISTS

AND

Married name: DOES NOT EXIST

Quite a simple query really- but WHERE can I use it?

Similarly I discovered that when I imported my GEDCOM  file into Myheritage FTB from its original form in Personal Ancestral File (PAF) I had often used a date determined filed that represents the condition that exists for a large part of my research In South Australia and uses the published Death Index which conclude in 1972.

Thus I had some death dates as After 1972.

So to find those entries and seek to either update or amend them- requires a Query thus:

Death date:  contains AFTER.

Quite a simple query really- but WHERE can I use it?

So to get around this problem- I had to export a New GEDCOM out of Myheritage FTB - create and import that GEDCOM in PAF and write the queries-.

THEN in parallel- with both Myheritage FTB AND PAF open- edit my through the list.

Am I missing something here- or is Myheritage just not quite up to query involvement?

Your theory of CTRL F and inputting your requirments does not seem to cope with what I need.

can you help.
