Events

The Events page is used to search for articles on national and international events.

You can use search templates to facilitate frequent searches. A search template consists of the search term, the time period of the search as well as the sources to be searched.

Search term

No search term To display all events of the selected time period and sources with any additional search options, leave the grey search field empty.
Entering search terms To limit the search result to events containing certain words, enter these words in the grey search field.
While you enter a search term, a list of suggestions for a likely completion of your search term is displayed.
You can refine your search terms with further options such as linking several words with logical operators or using placeholders in connection with variations of words.

If you use the logical UND/AND or a space to separate several words, the search result will only contain events where all the words you have entered will be present.

With the logical ODER/OR , all events containing one of the words you have entered will be included in the search result.
