Choose the result type before tightening the words
LRT’s help distinguishes Straipsniai/foto for written articles and photographs from Mediateka for programme and related audiovisual recordings. It then separates audio-only results in Audioteka from video results. Write the chosen category beside your search phrase.
For example, searching a presenter’s name may return several written reports and an interview recording. If the task is to find what the presenter said on air, a relevant article is context rather than the final viewing reference. Keep it as a clue, then repeat the same identifying words in the media scope.
Narrow a candidate search in controlled steps
LRT describes further filtering by time, a custom date interval and newest, oldest or most-popular order. Change one of these at a time. Begin with a broad media search, then set the remembered period, so you can see whether a restrictive date choice removed a candidate.
Keep a short log of the phrase, media type, interval and order used. If the exact programme name is offered as a related selection, inspect that route for all records linked with the programme. A series page can be a useful intermediate result even when the remembered episode title is uncertain.
Preserve the recording’s own identity
Once a candidate appears, open its detail page and record the displayed programme, episode date and whether it is audio or video. Compare those fields with the remembered event. Avoid assigning an article’s publication date to a recording merely because the article appeared in the first search.
If the scoped search still fails, LRT’s help provides a contact route for an unfound recording. A useful enquiry includes your original clue and the exact media/date scope already checked. That lets the broadcaster distinguish a missing record from an article-only search and gives you a repeatable starting point for any later catalogue update.
