| Full Text Search is available only from a county search page. |
This allows you to search for occupations (go easy on the blacksmiths), or status such as illegitimate, foundling and twin, or other information of interest
The Full Text Search option is only available to those with a subscription.
To access it, you need to be logged in, and making a one-county search. (The search will not be offered if you have not selected a specific county database.)
Click on 'Search' in the horizontal menu, and then select Full Text Search in the drop-down menu (see image). You then enter the word/words you want to search.
The new Full Text Search facility is an excellent addition to RootsIreland.ie and will really open up the database, especially to historians or researchers making selective topic searches.
