Using your Results The option to download the newspapers as an image is limited to PDF and JPG2. JPG2 is a more advanced version of JPG, it's not supported by most browsers, but some higher end image editors like photoshop and Corel Photopaint will allow you to edit the format. If you want to download the image as a lower quality file, Just click "Print" and drag the photo from the pop-up window One helpful way to use the full-text search feature is to enter a term or phrase containing many words that characterize the topic you wish to investigate. A full-text search will then retrieve pages with similar passages, displaying links to individual pages, where search terms will be highlighted in red wherever they occur on the page. An alternate results list is available through the Thumbnail View, which will display small page images with red highlights visible representing the occurrence of searched terms. This visual interface allows for quick review of full pages and search terms to determine the most useful results to view at full-size. Search Tips Boolean Operators Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. Chronicling America supports AND, "+", and OR, as Boolean operators (Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS). Search for a Phrase Put quotation marks around the phrase you are searching. When searching for a phrase, enter the words in the order they are most likely to occur. The order of search words does not affect the scope of the search results, but it will affect the order of their display. Too Many Results - If a search generates too many results, try using more specific terms. Too Few Results - If a search generates too few results, try alternate terms or broader subjects. Because language changes, be sure to use search terms
used at the time the materials were created, even if those terms
are now obsolete. For example, the following historic terms will
produce more results than their modern-day counterparts: Why does the View Text link on the full Page screen show misspellings and badly-formed words? The View Text option in Chronicling America displays machine-generated text that is produced by Optical Character Recognition software. Optical character recognition (OCR) is a fully automated process that converts the visual image of numbers and letters into computer-readable numbers and letters.
