We have two types of search engines, the first is our primary search engine located throughout The Daily Star and Cooperstown Crier websites. The second search engine available is located under ‘Archive’ on the navigation bar of both websites. The second is a site specific Google Search engine that searches both our new and old websites for both The Daily Star and the Cooperstown Crier.
Searching by keyword is the primary way of using these search engines. The more specific you are, the better your results will be when using the search engines.
An example of a specific search would be entering the full headline in the search engine. The result will be stories with that headline or something similar. Including quote around what you are searching for will make the search engine search for that exact phrase, not the individual components of that phrase.
An example of a non-specific search would be entering a couple words like “cats” or “dogs”. Searching this way will result in long list of stories that had “cats” or “dogs” somewhere throughout the story.
If you have any other questions on how to use our search engines on our website, please contact The Daily Star webmaster at 607-432-1000 ext. 239 or by emailing him at webmaster@thedailystar.com.
