Choosing Keywords

By default the keywords field will accept a list of words separated by spaces as in the example shown below:

congress economy policy

This query will show all stories that contain the words congress, economy and policy. The spaces are assumed to be Boolean ands (see section on Boolean Operators), meaning that all terms are required to be in all stories retrieved. Features such as Wildcard Characters and Proximity Operators are also available.

Using Dates to Limit Your Search

You can search for articles that were published in a particular year, or you can select a date range. If you want to find all of the available articles published in a newspaper for a particular day, use the browse feature to select a date, or just enter that date without any keywords into the search box.

To limit the date range you are searching, click the "more options" tab in the search box. It includes options to select content by the date it was added to the archives, as well as a date range limiter and the ability to narrow by title.

One you have performed a search, you can use the Narrow by Date graph and range fields to further narrow your results. Click Update after you have narrowed your search limits to get the new set of results.
