Search Enhancements

There are now over 15 million profiles connected on one Geni tree. As trees continue to grow and connect to each other, the distinction between users who are ‘connected’ and ‘not connected’ is becoming less important.

We’ve enhanced search to reflect this trend towards one tree that connects everyone. Geni users can now use search to find any profile on Geni whether or not they are connected yet. This will help you find relatives that are already on Geni and connect your trees.

The new search results tabs are All of Geni, Connected to You, and Managed by You. By default, users in our largest tree will search All of Geni and everyone else will search Connected profiles.

One of the benefits of this is that you can view all hot matches in one list without switching between two tabs.

Keep in mind:

• Minors are still never searchable
• This does not affect whether or not profiles are publicly searchable
• This does not affect what a user can see if they use search to find your profile
