Search in Archived Articles

When you want to search for articles in the archive on a newspaper's Prenly page, there are two ways to go about it:

- Search using single words, e.g., heatwave
- Search using an exact phrase, e.g., "a warm day"

The search results can be sorted by relevance, newest, or oldest. Your search terms will be highlighted in bold to help you see the context more easily.

Phrase Search – How to Do It

If you type several words like a warm day without quotes, the system will show results that include any of the words – for example, just a, warm, or day. That can generate a lot of hits, but not necessarily what you're looking for.

To make your search more specific and only find articles that include the full phrase, place quotation marks around it:

"a warm day"

That way, you’ll only see results where that exact phrase appears – in that order, with no words in between.

If you search for both a phrase and a single keyword, e.g. enter both "a warm day" Gothenburg, you will get hits for either "a warm day" or "Göteborg".

What is relevance?

You can choose to have the search results sorted by relevance. This means that a search result will be more relevant the more recent the date the article was published on. It will also be more relevant if the keyword is in the title and the more times the keyword is in the article.
