Telegraph announcements search

[colinp]

Has anyone tried using the new Telegraph announcements search page?  Just tried it for the first time.  It appears not to allow you to search for notices in that day's newspaper?  Does it work otherwise?  How soon after publication can notices be searched for?

I was just coming to post the below message when I saw yours. I'm flummoxed by the whole thing.

The [UK] Telegraph seems to have moved its death announcements, as of today, ,which used to be at:

https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths

Now all announcements are on a new-looking page at https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/

Deaths are at
https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/category/deaths

but it seeems they are just beginning to load it. For example, among the most recent postings there are deaths from 2021 and 2022.

Has anyone found a better way to see the most recent ones?

There is an option to search for "today" but it is currently empty. It seems as if they are just beginning to populate their past announcements?

I tried this new version. It works terrible. Search option doesn't work at all.  'Sort order' doesn't work at all. It shows only some random announcements. I don't know how to find latest ones.

at the moment, it seems that they have got it working properly

It appears that you can now see today's deaths (including the 8th Earl Cadogan), but not yet yesterday's. I managed to find them through the Telegraph app (not the "Pressreader" one) and here they are. (No births published today or yesterday, apparently.)

David,

this is not a solution. Search option is vital.

[dpth...@gmail.com]

don't blame David. He was just reporting what he found.

[gorgo...@gmail.com]

I  never had such intention. I'm grateful for his help, but it doesn't solve our main problem. We lost a lot of information.
