How to see entire household in a census record.

I'm having some trouble looking at Census Records.
Maybe I am dreaming this, but I seem to recall that in the past when I would did a search in the Census Records I could click on a record and see all the members in a household. And if I wanted I could then click on any member of that family and see the record from that person's perspective. Now it seems like when I click on a record I only get the individual that I am searching for.

A specific example: I'm searching the 1870 Census for Louis Huerner, born 1855, Residing in Gasconade County, Missouri.
I click View Record on the top entry returned.
All I can see is information about Louis himself.
I thought that in the past I would see all of the people in this household. The household head is John Schneider. I can see this information when I look at the actual image of the record. But I thought there was a way to get it formatted for me and printable.

Thanks for any help.
