it won't be searchable for some time. There is a volunteer project underway to enter the names into a database. It's not for ancestry.com but for the goverment. They're hoping to create a free, searchable database. To join:
https://the1940census.com/society/
The way I found several family members is I looked them up in the 1930s census & then used the enumeration conversions on ancestry.com to get the 1940s ED number. Then scanned through a lot of pages until I found their street number. Obviously it only works if you had a family that stayed put in the area.
