<\/a>A new easier-to-use, fill-in-the-blank search box: a redesign of GenealogyBank that makes it easier than ever to search, discover and save your discoveries.<\/p>\n
New Drop-down Menus<\/strong><\/p>\n Notice the handy drop-down menus along the top bar. Use them to narrow your search.<\/p>\n Easy to Save Your Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n Notice the \u201cSaved Articles\u201d button on the Recent Activity line.<\/p>\n With one click it opens up your saved articles \u2013 so that you can instantly refer back to them.<\/p>\n Very handy!<\/p>\n Typical Search<\/strong><\/p>\n Say I wanted to search for my \u201cHuse\u201d relatives in New Hampshire newspapers.<\/p>\n I would type Huse in the search box and use the location dropdown menu to limit my search to New Hampshire newspapers. Note:<\/em><\/strong> it is possible to search on several states at the same time.<\/p>\n More Search Results Visible on the Page, and Two Ways to View Them<\/strong><\/p>\n A grid view is the default for viewing your search results; 15 results are shown at a time.<\/p>\n This is great!<\/p>\n Easy to read \u2013 with the handy highlighting of the search term on each article. You can instantly see what the article is about \u2013 along with the date, name of the newspaper and citation.<\/p>\n Did you notice the blue list icon in the upper right-hand corner?<\/p>\n Just click it and the search results are presented as a list.<\/p>\n Improved Image Viewer<\/strong><\/p>\n I clicked on one of the articles I wanted to read and it came right up. This enhanced image viewer serves up larger images, including a full-screen mode, with new tools making it easier to interact with.<\/p>\n Hey \u2013 I didn\u2019t know there was a bust of my cousin William W. Huse<\/a> \u2013 I\u2019ll have to investigate that story.<\/p>\n Notice that the newspaper article citation is given at the top of the article. Very handy! It gives me the name of the newspaper; day of the week the article was published, the date, place of publication, the volume, issue number and page number. It is easy for me to copy, cut and paste that information in my notes \u2013 another real timesaver.<\/p>\n Look \u2013 More Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at these powerful tools in the enhanced image viewer.<\/p>\n Clip & Save<\/strong><\/p>\n This is incredibly easy \u2013 what a great improvement.<\/p>\n Click on the scissors icon above the clipping.<\/p>\n A \u201cSave This Clipping\u201d box appears, letting me give the newspaper article a title and description, saving the clipping to My Folder. Nice.<\/p>\n Notice the blue square box framing around the article itself.<\/p>\n I can easily drag these lines to exactly frame the part of the article I want to save. I can limit it to the size of the article itself or change the view to full page mode and then \u201cclip\u201d the entire page in these blue square-boxed lines and save the article.<\/p>\n This makes it easy to clip the article to remove the extraneous dark spots and lines from the image.<\/p>\n Notice the Other Task Icons<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking again at the icons in the upper right corner \u2013 click on the computer floppy disk icon.<\/p>\n This lets me save an image of the article as an image file \u2013 or as a PDF file. Handy.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
