John and Sherry, John's last message, eluding to the Research Center, provided a clue. I think John is referring to the built-in websites that are listed on the Preliminary Survey tab of Research Guidance. Is that right John? If so, these can not yet be customized. If there is a problem with the link, please let me know personally at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Taylor III Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 8:29 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] URL search strings for Internet search locations Sherry, I tried that, however, I just did it again,-and it still doesn't work. I've uninstalled legacy, then reinstalled legacy after deleting most of the files in the directory. I still have the same problems in the research center. Also, while viewing from the family page, when I try to do a direct Internet search from the tools menu (search the Internet for current person) and it brings up the list of available search engines. I choose ancestry.com then click on the search button, below is the address URL that it takes me to which does not establish a connection to ancestry. http://service.bfast.com/bfast/click?siteid=22846411&bfpage=search_box_3&bfm id=5647408&gsfn=Samuel+M&gsln=Wooster&sx=&prox=0&gsco=1&gspl=1%2C&year=1846& yearend=1908&gskw=&gst=&refine=1&gl=allgs&ti=&gss=ansmp&submit.x=38&submit.y =13 I know that I can change the setting in the customize function,-which I have and it works fine when I do. What I don't understand is how I can get to the changes that need to be made in the research center so that I can make sure that they have the proper URL in them. It appears as though something has changed some of these URLs, -I don't know what, or how, but I have ran the latest virus scan and spyware software trying to locate whatever created the problem. I do not believe that this is a problem that originated in Legacy. I believe at some point in time, something has either corrupted the files in this program and reinstalling is not helping. Everything else on my computer including the rest of Legacy works fine. I am hoping that if I can get to where the addresses are stored for activating the various websites within the research center then, perhaps I can fix it. I can fix the ones in the (search the Internet for current person close) via working with the URLs and figuring out how to put the correct ones in. Once again, if you are the technicians could tell me how to get to the URLs in the research center so that I might change them, then I believe that I may be able to fix this.

Delete the iSearch folder and the iSearch.usr file. Then when you go back into Legacy, the default search strings will be recreated. There are a lot of them in Legacy and they're all really long! I really don't know why the answers we've given you in the past aren't working for you unless it's a problem with your browser. Which one are you using? Thanks for using Legacy.

Taylor III Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 5:14 PM To: LegacyUserGroup Subject: [LegacyUG] URL search strings for Internet search locations Does anyone have a list of the Internet search strings for each of the preprogrammed search options and Internet search such as, RootsWebs customizable search option URL search option is (http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/metasearch?surname=[lastname]&given=[ givennames] and a second line is, [ ]=[+] ) without the parentheses. I have uninstalled legacy, ran a program to clean the registry and deleted the majority of files in the legacy directory, then I reinstalled legacy,-and I am still having a problem with legacy launching some of the browser sites that should be launched and not launch and others. This problem is with the searched the web option, and some of the Web options in research guidance. Since no one else seems to be having this problem, I have to assume that it is all on my end. If someone could paste the correct address is for me so that I can copy them and paste them into my copy of legacy, I would appreciate it. I have already talked with service, and the last that I heard from them, they said they could not understand why some of the URL sites work and others didn't. I guess that I am on my own, so I really need the help of other researchers. Thanks in advance John Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
