Simply enter the word you wish to find and the search engine will search for every instance of the word in the journals. For example: Fight. All instances of the use of the word fight will show up on the results page.
Using an asterisk (*) will increase the odds of finding the results you are seeking. For example: Fight*. The search results will display every instance of fight, fights, fighting, etc. More than one wildcard may be used. For example: *ricar*. This search will return most references to the Aricara tribe, including Ricara, Ricares, Aricaris, Ricaries, Ricaree, Ricareis, and Ricarra. Using a question mark (?) instead of an asterisk (*) will allow you to search for a single character. For example, r?n will find all instances of ran and run, but will not find rain or ruin.
Searches are not case sensitive. For example: george will come up with the same results as George.
Searching for a specific phrase may help narrow down the results. Rather long phrases are no problem. For example: "This white pudding we all esteem".
Because of the creative spellings used by the journalists, it may be necessary to try your search multiple times. For example: P?ro*. This search brings up numerous variant spellings of the French word pirogue, "a large dugout canoe or open boat." Searching for P?*r*og?* will bring up other variant spellings. Searching for canoe or boat also may be helpful.

2 Come forward O my soul, and let the rest retire, Listen, lose not, it is toward thee they tend, Parting
, To think that we are now here and bear our part. 2 Not a day passes, not a minute or second without
boundless summer growths, O lavish brown parturient earth—O infinite teeming womb, A song to narrate thee. 2
my spade through the sod and turn it up underneath, I am sure I shall expose some of the foul meat. 2
What is prudence is indivisible, Declines to separate one part of life from every part, Divides not the
and the armed guards, who ceas'd their pacing, Making the hearer's pulses stop for ecstasy and awe. 2
thou walk'dst thy years in barter, 'mid the haunts of brokers, Nor heroism thine, nor war, nor glory. 2
