If you search online for newspaper articles, you know that it is often challenging. This is primarily because OCR is not perfect and that old newsprint can often have creases, tears, ink spots and other errors. This creates an index that often is filled often with a mumbo jumbo of letters that do not result in accurate names and the like when the index is created. Thus your searches may not include all the articles that you seek.
This can easily be remedied by YOU! Just change the letters in the search criteria and deliberately misspell. Refer to this collection of letter pairs as shown in the image above. You will get much better results, guaranteed.
