When you are searching in a newspaper database, you are typically searching in the full text of the newspaper.
This means that your search terms may show up in the title, any subtitles, and in the full text of any article included in that database. This can be very helpful, but it can also mean that you'll need to pay careful attention to the titles of the articles that turn up in your results to make sure you're finding relevant results. (Example: if you're looking for articles about coronavirus/covid, many articles nowadays may include a throwaway line like "in this era of covid..." but be about something completely different.)
When searching in newspaper databases, you should think about what terms/words are most likely to have been used
at the time of the event/topic you are researching.
A newspaper database's Advanced Search option will have various ways to limit your search, including:

Look for a menu on the left-hand side of the page with various options for limiting your results.
