Has WikiTree changed how we search by surname??

In the past I could search by surname and run my cursor over the profile to get particulars (like birthyear, place, parents, spouse, etc) without having to open the profile.  Now it just gives a link to the profile without any clues.

It take me a whole lot longer to try to make connections now.

Am I not seeing something here?

Hi Brad. Go to

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Settings

and check that Profile Previews is enabled in the Tools section.

I seem to remember people reporting previously that this setting sometimes spontaneously turns itself off.
