FamilySearch Record Search Update: 4 million new records added

The following announcement was written by FamilySearch:

FamilySearch added about 4 million new records to its Record Search pilot over the holidays.  Patrons will find records from Brazil, Hungary, Czech Republic, Southern Bohemia, Třeboň, West Virginia, and the much anticipated Indian Territory records from the 1900 U.S. Census.  See the chart below for more details. The new records can be searched for free at FamilySearch.org (Click Search Records, then Record Search pilot).

A very nice progress report. Looks like we're making some real progress. Still, more volunteers would really help. More hands will make lighter work?

Happy Dae.

I checked this out, looking for Hungarian funeral notices, but the directions to click Search Records, then click Record Search Pilot don't seem to be accurate. I did not see Record Search Pilot. Am I missing it?

Easiest access is via http://pilot.familysearch.org
Click on "View all collections" near the center of the page, then scroll to Hungary (or whatever other country interests you).
