Enter your search keywords below. You are searching the reprocessed OCR of onscreen chyron text monitored by the Internet Archive's Television Archive 's "Third Eye " OCR stream. The raw per-second OCR is processed by language models and edit distance clustering and grouped by minute to find the "best" available version of each chyron to absolutely minimize OCR error as best as possible, but keep in mind that there will still be substantial OCR error in these results and some stations may have temporary outages.
All words/phrases should be in the language of the station(s) you are searching. This means you must conduct separate searches if you wish to search across stations in different languages. Phrases should be enclosed in quote marks and are limited to a maximum of five words. If you include multiple words/phrases all of them will be required to appear somewhere in the 15 second clip for it to match. Only the exact keyword(s) entered are searched (searching for "russia" does NOT match "russian" or "russians"). You can perform limited boolean "OR" searches by enclosing a group of OR'd terms inside a set of parantheses - for example, to search for "syria" appearing near a set of russian-related terms you might search for "syria (russia OR russians OR russian OR kremlin OR putin)". You can also put a "-" in front of a given word or phrase to exclude articles that contain it.
TIME PERIOD : By default June 2009 to present is searched. You can narrow the timeframe to a shorter window to examine a particular time period. (You can also select a "zoomable" volume timeline display in the next section that allows you to interactively narrow your search timeframe.)

COMBINE/SEP : By default each station's results are reported separately in the resulting displays. You can combine the output of all of the stations into a single result to make it easier to examine the aggregate coverage of a set of networks, especially for comparison purposes.

DATE RESOLUTION : By default, timespans of less than a day will be displayed at minute resolution, less than 7 days will be displayed at hourly resolution, those under 3 years will be shown at daily resolution and spans longer than 3 years will be shown at monthly resolution. Hourly resolution is only available for periods of 7 days or less and will generate an error for longer timespans. Otherwise, you can manually select the desired date resolution below. This is especially helpful for rare search terms or those with high burstiness, as trends are often more visible at weekly, monthly and yearly aggregation levels. Note that the start and end date/times of your query are automatically adjusted for each resolution. This means that if you select Weekly resolution below, your start and stop dates are adjusted forward/backward as needed to encompass complete weeks.

TIMEZONE : By default, all dates/times are expressed in UTC. Sometimes it is necessary to convert to a specific timezone to localize results, especially for precision analysis of sudden onset breaking news events or when aligning news coverage with external timelines of the events they describe. Note that changing the timezone below will change both how the start/stop date/times above are interpreted and how all results are returned.

SMOOTHING : By default, timeline visualizations will report exact values, but this can lead to a noisy graph that makes macro-level patterns more difficult to discern. To address this, you can enable smoothing that computes a moving window average to smooth the results and make patterns more apparent. Remember that moving window averages slide trends to the right and under heavy smoothing peaks can appear days to weeks later on the timeline.
