About the new search engine
A global search
You can now search through the entire website with a single query.
A smart search
The technology on which the new search engine is based enables much more advanced logic to be incorporated into the various search functions, giving you much greater flexibility when it comes to your queries. Approximate date, alternative spelling or typo? No problem for the new search engine; you’ll still find what you’re looking for.
Dynamic filters
Your search results can now be segmented using three categories of filters:
- Type of document
- Location
- Year
These filters allow you to refine your search results directly from the results page. For example, you can choose to only display a specific type of document or source collection, or you can limit the results to a particular location or time period.
An abundance of new data
Millions of previously unpublished historical documents are now available exclusively on Genealogy Quebec’s new search engine.
The infrastructure on which the engine is built enables us to share collections that were previously unavailable to the general public. This new data includes BMD records, individual and family files, censuses and historical directories.
In all, we’re talking about over 35 million new documents, for a total of 65 million historical archives to be discovered on the engine.
For more information, please refer to the New Search Engine User Guide.
Genealogically yours,
The Drouin team
