Kirsty, The .cis files are plain text files and can be opened in a text editor. In order to use a L7.5 .cis file in L8 you must change the version number in the first line of the .cis file from 4.0.02 to 8.0.01. Then save this edited file to your L8 isearch folder.

For some reason or another, it didn’t work when I copied the appropriate *.cis file into the new Appdata folder… Using the old L7 search string will NOT change my default preset of new versus old search style. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It was because I was investigating your lead (although the search strings produced appeared identical) that I was finally able to come up with a solution.

Internet>Search>select Ancestry> Customized Searches>Select Ancestry> scroll and select Ancestry> Copy the URL search String Depending on what you have there it may be possible to enter that as your search string in Legacy Ver 8.

For various reasons, I use the “Old Style” search on Ancestry.com. L7.5 would search the old style, no problem. But using L8, it switches me to the newer search style. Is there a way of re-writing the script so that it won’t do this? Thank you.
