The issue is that MH is independent of Legacy and is quite entitled to
change its interfaces to suit its own views on what its users might
want. If that then has an impact of other businesses, like Legacy, then
it is down to them to react and modify their own code.
MH might decide to inform Legacy of its changes in advance, but that
would be dependent on its own views, just the same as the way that FS
makes changes to its interfaces. There is also the risk in doing that
since it might freeze the change or cause Legacy to develop code that
might need to be modified if MH change the plan.
Remember that legally Legacy is an independent business and not part of
MH. If they were integrated then I would expect better integration
between them, but they are not.

The real issue here is that My Heritage who owns Legacy Family Tree doesn't
seem to bother that Legacy is no longer working as it should.
Kind regards

Ian,
You don't have to search trees. Even when the hinting is working for
MyHeritage, you can turn off the tree hints.
For the Internet Search, to create one for a particular collection, you don't
change the existing one for MH, you create an entirely new one.

Cathy Yes, that is the way I approached it - using the Search-Internet
interface in Legacy, for MyHeritage, and at the resulting page,
selecting various Collections or other settings from there. But I
opted not to amend the URL that it sends or even to explore Help for
Legacy's codes used in tat function.
I did actually like the Hints for MH within Legacy, even though it
threw up a lot of nonsense - but that is just a reflection of the
information that people put into their trees.

There's a problem with MyHeritage hints currently as far as I know.
You can write your own Internet Searches. You may be able to restrict it.
You do a search as you want it on the site and copy the Search URL and
replace specifics with the available codes. It's explained in the Help
I think. Whether this particular restriction can be done, I don't
know. It looks like it could be done for a particular collection.
You certainly can't do it by adding site:au

For some months, I haven't had any HINTS within Legacy _except for
FindMyPast_ - and wonder if it is possible to restrict the Search /
Search Internet for MyHeritage.com by country (or Collection?).
At this time, I would like to restrict to MyHeritage.com’s *Australian
collections* only
I use the default settings, but cannot see that I can restrict to
country within the URL search string.
Within a browser, I do remember appending *site:.au* but I doubt that
would be appropriate.
Ideas?
