We received good feedback last month on the tips you would like to see in the future. The most common request was search tips. One search tool that is very beneficial on Footnote is the use of wildcards. We have created a short video that demonstrates how to use wildcards to improve search results.

Not all of us have fast internet. I live in an area with only slow landline. After waiting 15 min for the video to load, I gave up. Just make searching easier and faster without so many layers.

The video worked perfectly for me. The speaker’s voice was clear and, once I put the video on full screen, the images were large enough to follow the instructions. Thank you for the search tip.

Ditto for Kathleen’s comment. It worked! the video (enlarged screen) was easy to see and follow. The speaker volumn was just right and
very clear. Thank you for this great information.
