Getting the most out of The Gazette DO... • Use the “All notices” section to begin your search journey. • Ensure you spell names correctly and try variations e.g. John Arthur Smith, J. A. Smith, J. Smith. • Select the correct date range – the narrower the date range, the more targeted the results. • Tick the notice type selections when searching for notices from 1998 onwards only. For pre 1998 notices and supplements use the text search box. • Share your findings on social media. • Let us know what you think!

Getting the most out of The Gazette DON’T... • Forget to clear your text box and categories if you want to conduct another search. • Use commas or symbols, for example & or *. Quote marks (““) are fine, but only for exact match searches. • Rely on Wikipedia to provide you with information prior to searching, it can often be wrong. • Forget you can search PDFs using CTRL+F (if you use a Chrome browser) or by clicking “find” at the top of your webpage (if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox). • Give up!
