When I do an advanced search for a name beginning with Mc (eg McNabb), I have to search as M'Nabb as that is how it was printed in older papers. This has been no problem until this week but now it will not display search results with details from the actual article. It only gives the headline. What have you changed? Please remedy it. I live in Northern Ireland, am doing family history searches and at least half of the names are beginning Mc.

Using the advanced search and with Exact search ticked for Mourne and Croft in "Search all words" and mourning in "Exclude words" brings up no results at all.

I wish there was a decent alternative to your dismal service.

remove highlighting of search term before saving article?

I am doing research into the early years of The Vegan Society. If you search for the word "vegan", you get so many poor OCR-based matches that it becomes extremely arduous to get results actually about veganism.

I would wager this is the same for a great deal of other words.

I fail to understand the utter hopelessness of the Exact Search function. A small example - I search for Alfred King, and get any number of King Alfreds. Incredibly irritating and makes the site pointless. And surely easily remedied.

Cannot search Largs without returning “large”

In the refibe search > date panel some dates are not shown for some newspapers. However, the papers exist in the archive as they can be accessed by typing in the date and page number in the address bar. However, accessing the pages this way means it is not possible to download the pdf. Can you include all dates of available papers in the refine search section or allow downlaoding of papges acessed by typing date into address bar.

Export newpaper, date, article title, abstract, group saved in, researcher comments into an .xls or .csv file for further analysis. I am a citizen reseasrcher not at an institution.

minimize search to relevant requests only

I've just registered and for the life of me I cannot see how to access my free pages so I can decide if I'll subscribe.

Browse from issue to issue, page to page, within full screen, as if you were -er - reading a newspaper. (A radical idea for software designers perhaps, but not for newspaper readers). The John Rylands Manchester Observer online does this without a hitch.

The addition of an option to refine a search by page number.

This would be of great assistance in refining search results when the information sought is always found on a give page of a given newspaper.
For instance, the local newspaper I view the most has only four pages with the local news I am interested being almost always found on the back/fourth page. And I'm sure it would be of assistance in others ways for other users too.

The name I search ends with an 's' but your search engine changes it to apostrophe s. This bring up thousands and thousands of irrelevant searches. Why is it changing what I type in?

When searching, you often find many copies of the same article or advert in different newspapers - and then spend some time choosing the best one to bookmark. It would be useful to be able to label the “rejected” ones so you know you have already looked at them. This could simply be a second type of bookmark in another colour, say. (Even better would be to then be able to exclude these articles from future searches.)

I think at present letters to the editor are listed under 'Articles' but it would be useful if they were their own sub-section. Would be useful for researchers interested in local feeling on particular topics
