Too-Too Thursday - More Indexing Nonsense

Now I am running through GenSmarts AND 1925 New York State census. The first MIA is Tomasz or Thomas Siekierski, hubby's great-great grandfather. I've tried everything to locate him. He had been found on all previous census AND the 1930, and then he dies in 1933. So where is he in 1925?

Moving on to  Claude and Daisy Maxson Conger. Another MIA. Soundex search found them, at least it found Claude Canger with wife, Davis. Only a look at the actual census page tells me her name is Daisy not Davis. Why is it the indexers on Family Search take more care?
