An example:
In the newspaper Aftenposten, between 1.1.1935 and 31.12.1935, the search term "ex" yields 393 hits. I have to go through these manually, i.e., I look at the "hit in context" that nb.no provides and judge, based on the following sequence of letters or characters, whether this might be a true hit for "exlibris". Within the 1-year timeframe, there was only one hit with sufficient OCR quality.
I am usually full of praise for the mass digitisation of cultural heritage led by the #NationalLibraryOfNorway.
However, the #OCR of the newspapers' full text is abysmal.
When I search for "ex libris", I have learned to do it by looking for "ex" – a seldom-used word in Norwegian – & manually checking.
Some examples of what a simple search for "ex" yields. In combination with "libris", the latter word is almost always misread.
80% of the time, ex is the misread version of "er" (= is).
