Internet archive

I’m trying to locate an article via the internet archive, but I’m not really adept at how it functions for searches. It appears there are a whole slew of different ones

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Start with "any field" and "contains" and then type your search term in the box on the right.

If you get too many results, you can then move further down the list to eliminate results by using "contains" and "does not contain", and then again, typing your term you want to include or exclude in the box.
