Johan -----Original Message----- From: LegacyUserGroup <legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com> On Behalf Of Chris Hill Sent: 07 July 2021 09:40 To: Legacy User Group <legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - Internet search within Legacy 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.
