This may be easier for people to find if you put it under Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire rather than Newcastle-upon-Tyne in Northumberland. Obviously no-one at BNA realised there is more than one Newcastle in England

HAVE SAVED SEARCHES IN ALPHABETIC ORDER ALSO WHEN YOU RECOVER AN OLD FILE THE ITEM/NAME IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED YOU THEN HAVE TO SEARCH WHOLE HIGHLIGHTED AREA TO FIND IT

Search for a word within a range of (however many) word(s) from the following word.
You decide the maximum distance between each search term.

It's well past time that the OCR engine was replaced with one fit for the 21st Century.
The present one omits thousands, if not millions, of random words for no obvious reason, and not because the image is flawed, and often ignores the column boundaries. On many pages the OCR result is missing completely.
A modern fit-for-purpose OCR engine would make a massive improvement.

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?

How do I move the window above out of the way of the image behind it? I want to move it onto a second screen and enlarge it, to make it easier to edit the text. It only seems to slide up and down, and can't be dragged left or right.

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.

Reason for asking - I have hit instances where the top of one article has been subsumed into the bottom of an unrelated article, while the second half of the same article has been allocated to the start of a third article.

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”
Useless

Great site, great info - poor search. Exact search = not exact!

Emulate TNA Discovery! Allow saved searches to be downloaded as .csv or similar to enable users to organise their data and gain much more from it. TNA downloads lots of fields - BNA would only need about 5 to be amazingly useful.

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.

It would be most helpful to have some kind of running total of the numbers of articles consulted/saved

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.

In saved items, to be able to search on publication/date/other terms within the saved items

I have found lots of useful articles but when I save the paper to my Saved items when I go back to the paper the specific article is no longer highlighted. I can't find the articles. How can I search for a term again in the saved papers. It makes all the searching I did a waste of time and I have to do it all again?
