Archive search Q
Posted by ANDRE A JACKSON on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 2:11 PM

Hello all,

Like many, I recently found my access to Kalmbach archives ended, with the requirement I now had to sign up to the new Trains Unlimited.

I did that, however, when I try to use the "new" archives, I find either:

--Pitch buttons asking me to sign up for the archives as well (I thought Trains "Unlimited" included archives of all the publications?)?

--The Archive lacks a search function that I can see, aside from pulling up a full year's worth of magazines. The problem is that, without ability to search a topic/subject, in effect, I can't find what I'm looking for without knowing the date it appeared in a magazine? Which seems to defeat functionality of an archive, IMHO.

Am I missing something here, as in a search bar/engine that I can't see or is hiding on my screen?

I posed this question last week to Kalmbach customer service, but have yet to hear back.

Thoughts welcomed. Thanks all,

The only search is what you found, the drop-down box on the upper left, that gives you year, and monthly issue.

There IS no other search.  It sucks.

Mike.
