Highlight the text searched for in the original newspaper - i.e. don't make us have to attempt to read an entire page in order to find it.
Highlight the text searched for in the original newspaper - i.e. don't make us have to attempt to read an entire page of tiny text in order to find the term we searched for. This is what Newspapers.com does. Look at that website for tips on how to improve this one, searchwise. Look also at Trove for search tips to improve this. So far, this website is poor value.

Hmm almost whenever I use the search facility the keywords I searched on have a blue box around them when the results are displayed, to find the relevant place(s) reduce the image size to show the whole page then zoom in on the blue you see. Very occasionally this will stop working and no boxes display. not sure why but if you come out of the results and resubmit the search that usually sorts it out. If you have never seen the blue boxes, which this query would indicate, I suggest contacting the archive by email and seeing what they can suggest.
