To use the Search engine, just type the word(s) that you want to look for and click the “Go” button and the list of reports will come out. The reports are arranged in reverse chronological order, i.e., the latest reports are listed first. Click on the report that you want to read and search for the article that contains the word(s) that you are looking for. Note that the reports are static and therefore, the word(s) you might be looking for may not be located immediately on the first part of the report, e.g., the first article on the Daily Report may not contain the word(s) that you are searching for. Thus, you have to browse over the entire report. An alternative way to search for specific articles is to use the search engine in the “In the spotlight” Archive. Here, the reports are arranged individually making it easier to search for specific articles. However, only the most important articles are here.
