Under the initial setting, check marks appear for all prefectures for which newspaper pages are available, such as Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture, meaning all prefectures are covered in the search. Check marks can be removed to designate a specific search area, such as only Ibaraki Prefecture or only Aichi Prefecture.
