How to find a specific item

1. Go to the Search link in the site navigation.
2. Enter a keyword — a person's name, a town, an event, or an organization.
3. Review the results, then open the matching article.

For recurring types of content, browsing the dedicated section is usually faster than searching: use Obituaries for death notices, Sports for game coverage and athletic history, and Photo Galleries when you want images rather than text.
