So it is     :-[

But.....if I filter by date & county first (which I now have to do), THEN add the search term it didn't come up as an option even though I know there are articles for the individual I'm looking for. 

But if I filter by newspaper before adding the search term then it comes up.  Crazy!

Might try a different browser to see if that gets rid of the problem.

It shouldn't be this hard though, should it?  It certainly wasn't before they "improved" it!

I am using Chrome.  I agree it shouldn't be so hard, I just hope they get a move on and sort out the inconsistencies in their searches etc.  I have bookmarked a lot of the collections now but I would rather I hadn't had to.

it really SHOULDN'T be this hard.  That's the problem imho, too many ways to search.  There should be one with all the options you need on the one search page.

Pity the review centre doesn't show the star ratings in a graph - the overnight drop from 5* to 1* would be something to behold!

Further discussion??? You have to be kidding, Can't Find My Past is just a whinge-fest with barely a helpful constructive comment.
