Secret change to the search results page?

Question

I just noticed that when I do a search, the results table now has three additional columns titled ° (degree symbol), relation, and suggestion. I see how these things could be useful under certain circumstances (particularly when performing a surname search or searching for a relative who you know is already connected to you). However, these columns are currently completely empty. It makes sense that it might take some time for the data to show up, but since this was never announced as far as I can tell, I want to make sure that it wasn't released by mistake.

I do have the browser extension installed, so there is a possibility that this was added by the extension. The page that lists all of the updates to the browser extension says that the most recent update was on May 1 but does not seem to mention anything about extra columns in the search results page.

Answer 1

Those columns are an option in the WBE Table Filters feature. You can switch them off.

Thank you! I found where the setting is in the browser extension. But the issue is that when I do have them switched on, they don't actually work; the entire columns just appear completely blank.

Yes. The data comes from the stored data that you've built while visiting profiles (the data from the Distance and Relationship feature). So if you haven't visited those profiles, the columns will be empty. Not the best system, I know. I was working on a way to fill them for your CC7, but I got sidetracked... I'll get back to it soon.

Thank you for the explanation!
