MyHeritage - opinions?

10. My local library recently switched

to MyHeritage for their off-site access genealogy search. Ancestry.com can be used at the library only. So far, I'm not impressed by MyHeritage. Their search function seems limited. For example, I put in a name, birth year and place of residence. Hit search. Up came a list of names (some are somewhat similar, but most are not), different birth years and location all over the place. I used their Advanced Search to narrow down the criteria, hit search, and came up with the exact same list as in the first search. And the page indicator said there were 50 pages (seems that for every search there are 50 pages, no matter what the criteria) so a page-by-page search is tedious and not necessarily productive. I've also found mistakes in the census indexing. Their index says one thing, but when I looked at the actual census return, the data was different. Names misspelled in the index where they are clearly visible in the original document. Listed one woman as the wife but the actual census indicates she was the daughter-in-law. It may be useful in placing someone in a particular location, but the data should be verified by other means. Yup, so far, not impressed.
