Maine Newsstand

I have been trying (rather unsuccessfully) to use Maine Newsstand to search for obituaries since we often have patrons ask us for help finding obituaries and I thought that this site would make it easier.  However, I have started by searching for people that I knew the death dates for and that I knew which paper their obituaries were printed in, just so that I would be sure of the results the first time I tried it.  However, it keeps saying there are 0 results.  What am I doing wrong?  Although I am not a computer wizz, I have done plenty of successful searches on the web.
