The Evening Post has been extended
up to 1945. This is the first newspaper
in Papers Past to cover the Second World
War. |
New features include:
Searching on stop words
In the past, all stop words (the, and, or, a, and all single letters) were removed from our indexes because they greatly reduced the search speed. The problem has been resolved so a search for "A. Smith" will search that name. In the past, the site ignored the A. and searched only Smith.
Complex Boolean search queries
Create more complex searches like sheep AND (fur OR wool) which will search for articles with sheep AND fur or sheep AND wool.
