Partial entries are used. For example "wai" will find "wai", "Waianae", "Waimanalo", "Waimea", "Hawaii", and so on.
Search criteria cannot include "and", "or", etc. within a search field. Multiple search criteria will assume the "and" operator.
The 'Keyword' field searches for the word in both the "Category" and the "Title/Description" Fields.
You can search for a particular category (Person, Place, Subject, or All three), or within the "Title/Description" field independently.
Selecting one of the Categories or Newspapers restricts the search to within that category or newspaper. For searching by Year, entering a year in the "From" box only will find all articles published that year or after that year. Similarly, entering a year only in the "To" box will find articles published that year or before that year.
Entering a value in both the "From" and the "To" boxes will find articles published within that year range. If you enter the same year in both boxes, you will get articles published only during that year.
