This page contains answers to the most frequent questions asked about beaufortgazette.com. If you have a question about the site that is not answered below, please contact the New Media Department at or by calling (843) 706-8187.

Q. I'm having trouble finding the story or picture I saw in the paper on beaufortgazette.com.
A. Most local content from The Gazette is posted on the site in the corresponding section (news, sports, features, etc.). However, we do not publish wire service stories and photos (such as from the Associated Press) that appear in the newspaper. The Beaufort Gazette Online has a 24-Hour Breaking News feed for that kind of information.

Q. What is the best way to conduct a search of your site?
A. Start with the most specific information you have. For example, if you know the name of someone in the story, use that, especially if that person is not often in the paper. Also, try using general keywords, such as "Burton" or "Lady's Island," relevant to your search but be prepared to wade through more returns.

Do NOT enter dates as a search query. You will not get the results you want.

Q. What if I want to find a story before you established your online archive system?
A. The Beaufort County Public Library, located on Scotts Street, has every edition of The Beaufort Gazette on microfilm.

Q. What browser should I use to view beaufortgazette.com?
A. The site will support versions 4.0 and higher of Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator and Communicator. Users of older browsers or users with AOL browsers may not experience the look and feel of the site as we've intended but won't miss out on any content.
