The platform offers a variety of advanced search features, such as :
- Searching one, all, or selected newspaper titles
- Limiting by specific date ranges
- Searching specific “article types” (News/Opinion, Legislative Acts or Legal Proceedings, Advertisements, Matrimony and Death Notices, etc.).
- Narrowing by place of publication
- Full-text search, or headline only
In 2015, Readex launched a new interface for its news products to improve navigation and image magnification.
