Power Search: Search News By Date

Follow the instructions below to find news on a specific date by using the Power Search form in LexisNexis Academic.

A common assignment is to research the major news that occurred on your birthday. You can easily do this on the power search form.

1. Click on the PowerSearch form
2. (Optional) Type in a search term if you are looking for a specific topic.
3. Use the "Specify Date" Drop-down box to select a period of time. Use the "Date Is" option if you would like to find articles from one specific date. A new box will appear where you can input the date. Click the red search button for results.

This functionality is not just found on the PowerSearch form! Most search forms contain a Specify Date drop-down box.
