Times Digital Archive Guide

Searching, Results, and Printing in the Times Digital Archive

Searching

To search for a word in an article and have results display oldest to newest use a Keyword Search
To search for a word in an article and have the best matches first do a Relevance Search
To browse article by article, Browse by Date
To search by author, subject, day of week, etc use the Advanced Search. For more help with this see Advanced Search in the Help Index
Use search limits to find advertisements, news, people, features, etc.

Note: This database does not cross-reference for British and American spelling variations. For instance a search for "color" yields one result, while "colour" gives hundreds.

Results: Three formats will show up for each citation.

Article -- shows a scanned version of just the article with the terms highlighted
Page -- shows a scanned version of the entire page with the terms highlighted, and the article outlined in red (however, it prints just the article)
PDF -- shows a PDF version of the scanned article, no terms are highlighted

Printing

Article and Page will print with terms highlighted, PDF will not
Only use the print buttons provided within the database -- DO NOT use the browser print button
Article and Page will only print the cited article, PDF will print the entire page
Changing the size of the article you are viewing will not change the printed size. To change the print size choose "E-Mail or Retrieval" on the left, and choose 2 1/2 landscape (which prints two pages horizontally), or 41/4 portrait (which prints four pages vertically)
In PDF use the graphic select tool (located at the right side of the toolbar) to select an area, then choose print. Make sure that in the print range section "graphic" is selected. Use this option to get the largest printed version.
