The archive for Norwegian, English and Spanish language articles
contains stories since November 1994. Articles in Swedish and German
from December 1995 are also available. It is possible to search for key
words in the archive and limit the search by date.
You may combine search words with OR,
AND and NOT.
AND-expressions are evaluated before OR-expressions.
For instance the search expression aa AND bb OR cc will
find all documents containing both aa and bb, plus all
documents containing cc.
You may also write this as ( aa AND bb ) OR cc.
The search expression aa OR bb AND NOT cc will find all
documents containing bb and that does not contain cc, plus all
documents containing aa.
You may also write this as
aa OR ( bb AND (NOT cc) ).
You can search for partial words by truncating them with *, for
instance aa* will match all words beginning with aa.
If you only use * or nothing as search expression, you get all
documents from the chosen information sources between the specified dates.
Some small words like "a", "on", "for", "the", etc., are removed from the search wordlist.
You can change the date fields to optimize your search. It is also possible to search in many information bases at the same time.
The database is updated once a day. In order to access material in the IPS archive you must be a subscriber.
Private individuals, media organisations and others can make a
subscription.
