Searching the NYTimes

Today's "beSpacific" email has a link to an online article about searching back issues of the New York Times. The author compares using the search engine provided (for a fee) on the New York Times website (provided by ProquestArchiver) with the Proquest Historical Newspapers database (available to us through the Pitt digital library).
After discussing the electronic databases, the author cautions that the bound New York Times index "still manages to contain references to articles that the online database misses."
