I have discovered the solution to a problem that has baffled me and others probably found to be no challenge. I often encounter references to news articles that appear to interest me, but when I try to read the articles I find they are behind a paywall. I understand the issue of online content needing to support content creators and services so I have no real issue with this situation beyond wishing there was a reasonable micropayment system that could be applied. Anyway, I subscribe to the NYTimes and the local online paper, but find myself interested in articles appearing in the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker, Atlantic and many other news outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We purchased an Apple News+ subscription as a way to expand to many (Washington Post not included) of the outlets that interest me. The problem I encounter is finding articles I want in any but the most current issue. Often, what I have is a title and not the citation providing publication date and page number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obvious solution is a search feature which I make use of on my desktop machine, but I was baffled by where the search box was when trying to track down an article from my phone. I finally figured out the issue and will demonstrate both the problem and solution here for anyone interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is the display I see when connecting to Apple News+.\u2002No icon that says search. The solution is to select Following<\/strong>. I fear I have become very literal in my old age because I needed to see a search icon or a search box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you select Following, you are taken to a display that contains the sources you frequently consult and at the top of the page a search box<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps this was obvious to everyone else, but I was confused for some time. Whether this information is helpful or not, I do recommend Apple News+ as a solution to the “I can’t subscribe to every news source I might use once a month” problem. <\/p>\n
