Listen to suggestions
Listen to previous comments and do something about it . Blaming the print is not an option. After trying numerous variations I stumble on articles which have the my first search words clearly in the text. Why does it miss them on the first search? Now I find that it refuses to find the word it has found previously in any publication.
The Gale Archive was far from perfect but was significantly better than this. I rue the day my local library withdrew it and subscribed to you a service I cannot access from home for free but have to pay for due to Covid.

Improving newspaper search could benefit from more visual cues and topic previews, especially for busy parents looking for lifestyle or kids’ content. Small snapshots or categorized highlights make scanning easier and quicker. For example, websites like https://momenvyblog.com/ share curated collections of parenting tips, children’s hairstyles, and health guides in an organized way, which can make discovery smoother and more enjoyable for readers.
