Sorry if this has been asked/answered but is there something wrong with the Canadian newspaper search on FMPast?

Hi Maureen, I have just checked and I get 8,235,019 results when I leave all of the search fields blank, but if I put something in one of the search fields I get nothing.  I even tried the search term "Canada" and got nothing  ???
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton

 :) :) Thanks Jool! I tried "Smith" and got nothing as well.

Just thought I'd missed the memo.

EDIT: OH! Hadn't tried the US. Thank you.

Hi,

Not working for me either...I tried "John Smith" and couldn't get any results from either the Canadian or US newspaper collection.  The British newspapers seem to be fine.
