What that means for you is the possibility of new newspaper results each time you search.<\/p>\n<p>If you just want to see articles added since your last search \u2013 content that is new to you \u2013 GenealogyBank lets you do this.<\/p>\n<p>How do you sort your newspaper article results to show the latest additions in GenealogyBank\u2019s Historical Newspaper Archives? We discussed in a previous blog article <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.genealogybank.com\/genealogy-tip-narrow-your-search-and-sort-your-results.html\">how to use the \u201cSort by\u201d feature with your newspaper search results<\/a>.

Whether you do a Basic search or an Advanced search from the homepage makes no difference in terms of demonstrating the \u201cArticles Added\u201d feature.<\/p>\n<p>For this example, I have only searched on an ancestral name (Lars Peterson) and no other keywords. Click on the Search button. Now you have your results.

It takes your total results and sorts them so that they can be viewed in the order you choose. Choosing the <strong>Most Recently Added<\/strong> option shows the search results with the most recently added newspapers first. But it will show <em>all<\/em> the results, whereas the \u201cArticles Added\u201d feature only shows newspaper articles within the time period you choose. It does not show you all results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s New? Look at Your Search Results<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Want to narrow your search results to only the latest additions to GenealogyBank? Use the \u201cArticles Added\u201d feature to specify a time period when the articles were added to GenealogyBank\u2019s Historical Newspaper Archives. Since GenealogyBank is adding new content all the time, it\u2019s vital to check back often to find relevant newspaper articles. The \u201cArticles Added\u201d feature gives you an easy way to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Explore over 330 years of newspapers and historical records in GenealogyBank.
