Tips for Searching Article Archives
  • Use AND, OR and NOT (in ALL CAPS) to combine search terms (e.g. wells AND fargo).
  • You may also combine words with quotation marks: "wells fargo"
  • You may truncate keywords with an asterisk: tech* will search for technology, technologies, etc.
  • Possessives using an apostrophe (words ending in 's - e.g.: Bloomingdale's) should be truncated before the apostrophe: search for "bloomingdale*" instead.
  • It is not necessary to fill out all of the search field text boxes.
  • When searching using byline, start by using last name only. Full bylines should appear in quotes. For example: "c.w. nevius"
  • The Chronicle is searchable back to January 1, 1995.
  • The Hearst Examiner is searchable from January 1, 1995 - July 28, 2000 and Sundays only from July 30, 2000 - November 19, 2000. View a previous edition of the Hearst Examiner.
  • The archives are limited to staff written material only -- wire service and freelance articles are generally not included.
  • Any reprint permissions must be obtained from Hearst Communications, Inc.
