It's like if you search for a particular person it'll give a link to "Brad Pitt" for example, because he's a person. Awful! I'd suggest searching via something like newspapers.com - they will find the page and then ask you for a credit card. So now you at least know where to look.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102758109466925999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-45540928025977096172017-01-22T11:10:29.483-08:002017-01-22T11:10:29.483-08:00Let me check into what's going on.

The only problem I see is that you will find stuff that was highlighted in the first place so if uncle Harry's name was not highlighted in the 1912 Iowa newspaper then you will never find him... poor Harry. I just published a new Canada English newspapers table (from the Google News Archive) which your readers might find helpful -- https://newspaperproject2012.wordpress.com/2016/05/01/how-to-search-google-scanned-news/ --- I also posted your article (this article) on my blog page so my readers can have your detailed "How To" account for their searches.

"nid=1955" for the Reading PA Eagle. The promised "facelift" hasn't been implemented 8 months after its announcement. I think that was BS meant to deflect complaints on their forums. Thanks Google.

The only way to search the newspaper archives now is to go to the regular google search at www.google.com, and PRECEDE your search by "site:google.com/newspapers" (without the quotes.) followed by your search terms. In another customer-unfriendly change, you can't filter your newspaper results by date anymore. When you try to limit the date range using the specified dates, you get nothing, because the dates filter the NEWS, not the scanned newspapers.TampaPixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280276803305213256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-23330298084299187512013-12-10T15:17:54.658-08:002013-12-10T15:17:54.658-08:00Dan--A question.

When I go into the archives it wants articles under m/dd/yy, but if I'm searching for articles from the 1800's and 1900's, I can't seem to have access to anything. Is there a trick? I'm trying to find articles around the Progressive Era with regards to sanitation, urbanization, and crime.
