Towards grouping results, I am now triaging ALL my DNA matches. The new style search renders this more difficult, but I am ploughing on.

First stage:
Sort by date, filter by new matches

Anything with a match = keep, make notes on both and group if I can

No tree + no match = discard
Hidden tree + no match = group as no shared matches (in case a later search reveals a name/place)
Tree + no match, but (no names + no places) = discard
Tree + no match, but (names or places) = consider on merit

Second stage:
Consider what I have got. My best matches to date have been genuine relations with less than 10 cM in common, but very good trees. I am hoping that that bracket will smash the brickwalls.

While no matches may become matches in the future, I probably only get one new 4th cousin every couple of weeks, so I don't imagine I am losing huge clues, but I am making the formidable list a little more managable. I should end with approx 5000 matches to play with.
