How do I get the old name list?

@Col_Needham​ okay thank you.

What I meant was when I am certain two names are the same person, I will merge them into the lower-numbered name rather than the higher one, as it keeps the site tidier.

@Vande​ @Col_Needham I do this as well, and am now finding it much harder.

Another issue I'm having: when adding a new credit, I search exact matches for that person's name, and from the list of results I open each person in a new tab so that I can check their filmography to make sure I add it to the correct person if they are already listed. (I also discover a lot of duplicates this way, where people have just created a new page instead of adding to an existing one.)

The new system doesn't seem to allow this; from the list of results I cannot open any of the name pages in a new tab, so the only way to check them is by opening one at a time, which is extremely awkward, especially without Roman numerals, and frankly doesn't seem to be worth the extra time. I'm either going to have to resort to guesswork when I check new names, or just stop bothering altogether.

@tom_wake​  Please can you let us know what system and browser you are using? Also, if you have other browsers installed please can you try them and see if youe get the same results?  The following might be useful if you have any ad blockers or plugins installed -> https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF 

On the new search results pages I can still open the results in new tabs on a Windows 10 machine with Chrome. 

@Col_Needham​ I am using Windows 10 with the latest version of Chrome, but I do use an ad blocker so perhaps that's the issue.

Another problem I'm having is that, where there are alternate names, it hides the titles, so if there are a lot of these it can be hard to tell them apart. For example:

@tom_wake​ Thanks for the feedback.  We will pass this to the team. 

My main issue with this.

The grey parts under the name are very hard for me to read, I have to tilt the laptop screen back and lean in just to have a hope of reading the words, the light grey bends too much into the white background. It's extremely difficult to find someone when there's over 50 pages of the same name and there's no numerals (heck I have some numerals for people memorised) and you can't read it or even see what department they are in sometimes, as Tom pointed out above.

Thanks for reading.

@Khaosth7_dubel​  Thanks for the problem report.  The new search is intended to be backwards-compatible with the old one so this appears to be a bug.  Sorry.  We have reported this to the appropriate team.
