Philip,
FindMyPast is a UK company from which I get UK and Australian hints
since most of my research is in England and Australia. They've only
comparatively recently entered the US market as well.
MyHeritage is actually an Israeli company with a reputation for having
good European data. I don't know. I do know they don't have unique
Australian and English data but feed you FamilySearch data.
FamilySearch is worldwide though hints from FamilySearch are only coming
from things that have been hinted by them to FamilySearch trees and then
only if you have the FS ID entered in Legacy.
Genealogy Bank is the only hinting site that is pure USA (maybe also
Canada but I don't think so).

Perhaps as an American company, only us sites programed in for
searches... maybe worth a problem report to support? While I am
American, as nearly all Americans are immigrants at some point I also
would like to see "foreign" searches as eventually I need German,
Swiss, and French records as well as Irish and others. Hope that is
not the case and just taking awhile to get to searching the "foreign"
sites.

I was looking forward to trying out the new HINTS part of Legacy 9
but so far
I've been quite disappointed.
1. It's not finding anything that I haven't already entered
(except see point 2
below). I can't be that good that I've found everything there is
to find. :) I
use mainly FindMyPast.
2. It IS finding all sorts of spurious hints from the USA even
though all my
entries are UK based.
3. If I "Reject" Hints (e.g. the US ones) the little orange hint
icon quantity
doesn't change and next time I run the hints all the Rejects have
reappeared.
Any ideas?
