Adding Plot to Search

In a recent update, we added plot information to the search index so that you can search for memorials that include plot information and we can display plot information on the search result lists. You can add plot to your search from the homepage, the memorials page, the cemetery search page, on the list of memorials you manage or wherever the new search is used.

To limit your search to memorials with plot information, open the “More search options” and check the box next to “Plot info.”

In the search results list, you’ll find the plot information on the right side, under the cemetery name and location. You can sort the results list by plot information using the dropdown at the top right of the results list.

The usefulness of this new feature depends on the amount and quality of plot information that Find a Grave® members have added to the site, but where good plot information exists, this can be a really helpful way to narrow your results, see who is buried nearby and find a grave when GPS coordinates have not been added for the memorial.
