When you log in you will go to the Standard search mode, which is suitable for most searches. 

Type your search term in the box labeled Search Term.   Use lower case letters, as upper case letters force adjacency in searches (see the tutorial).

To restrict searches to one day, type the date in the Date box in the format dd/mm/yyyy.  If you want to search across a range of dates, use the earliest and latest dates separated by a space (e.g. 01/01/1999 31/01/1999 to restrict searches to January 1999).  Leave the date box blank if you do not want to restrict searches by date.

To instigate a search, press the Search button. This will return a summary screen of articles meeting the search criteria.  Each entry will have the headline (in orange), Publication, date and the first few lines of the article.   Clicking on the orange headline will display the full article. For a fuller explanation of all the search functions, refer to the tutorial.
