TIPS FOR SEARCHING BY KEYWORD:
When entering a multi-word topic or name, better results are returned by using quotes. Example: "John Doe" will return only the full phrase, not all articles containing John and Doe.

When looking for a broad topic, narrowing your search with the use of the word AND will return better results. Example: "Hilo" and "hospital."

Entering a Publication date range of less than 6-month intervals will return results quicker than searching the entire database of more than 100,000 articles. Example: enter 01-01-2003 through 06-30-2003

If you still can't find your story, realize that The Hawaii Tribune-Herald does not include in its archives stories purchased from media outlets, such as the AP, so if you're looking for a story with a byline other than a HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD staffer, it may not be in our library.
