This guide is volume 3 in my FamilySearch Unlocked series. I've compiled a 71 page digital book that is a comprehensive guide to FamilySearch Full-Text Search, which has revolutionized genealogy research by making all words on a document image searchable in a matter of seconds.
 
Released June 2025.
 
This guide contains entirely different information from any of my other FamilySearch Unlocked guides. Each one is a standalone guide on a different part of FamilySearch.
 
Though I'm based in the U.S., these instructions and strategies would apply to all English-based countries and records.
 
This guide contains 4 sections:
• What is Full-Text Search & Why Would I Use It?
• How To Use Full-Text Search
• Examples: See it in Action
• Super Charge Your Full-Text Searches
