Problems of FTM's IFF.
(http://www.familytreemaker.com/ifftop.html)
 

  1. Search results are shown 20 hits at a time with no indication of how many there are in total, nor of where one is in the list. Most modern search engines display "hits 21-40 of 2000", or similar.
  2. Stale index entries persist for long periods of time. This particular site pops up a lot for me. Six months ago they had some user pages that were closely connected to my families. Now, six months after they deleted that data, like the Cheshire cat's grin, the stale index entries continue to plague me with false hits. 
They removed the data in June, but IFF still carries the index entries (December)This particular site
