Kathy,
My bad! I am not subscribed to FindMyPast and had not tried it
in Legacy Internet Searches. If the search engine string does not appear in
the url then there is no way you can use it with Legacy that I am aware of.
Sorry!

Subject: [LegacyUG] Customize internet searches
I am working with the instructions provided by Bobby Johnson to add customized
searches. Of course I had to run into a snag.
If you want to add Find My Past as a customized search, there doesn’t seem to
be a way to add the search strings for given and surnames. If I try to use
the search box as in the instructions by adding names, the url I receive is
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/XdbSearchCountServlet That doesn’t allow me to
enter the names and have an automatic search at Find My Past.
Does anyone know how to add Find My Past as a custom search engine?
Thanks.
