Searching by Batch Numbers

Familysearch.org has restored the search by batch number function on their website. However some users are experiencing difficulties with searching batch numbers with fewer than five numbers following the prefix or if they have a prefix starting with j or k.

To bypass the first problem, simply add two zeros after the prefix (ex. C 167-7 will become C001677). And to bypass the second problem change the prefix from J or K to the letter C.
