Hi everyone,
I’ve been exploring the British Newspaper Archive and noticed that some search queries, especially for regional newspapers from the early 1900s, sometimes return incomplete or inaccurate results.
I’m curious if others have found effective strategies or settings to improve search accuracy, like using advanced filters, Boolean operators, or specific keyword formats.
Are there any updates planned for the PolyTrack search algorithm or tools within the archive that can help refine results for researchers focusing on local history?
I’d love to hear your tips, experiences, or workarounds — anything that could make historical research smoother and more precise.
