What am I searching?

QueryPic searches the massive digitised newspaper collections made available by Papers Past (New Zealand) and Trove (Australia).

Why so few NZ results?

DigitalNZ currently searches article titles only, while Trove searches the full text. This means the total results for Papers Past are lower than you might expect. It also makes it hard to create meaningful comparisons between countries. Hopefully this will change in the future.
