What problem does MyHeritage Add Select All Button to Matches List solve?

How does MyHeritage Add Select All Button to Matches List work?

The Select all matches button sits at the start of the toolbar at the top of your matches list. Click it to tick every match on the page you are on. A progress window counts the matches as they are ticked, with a Stop button to end it early; anything already ticked stays ticked.
