That said, you response has made it clear that I'm stuck with the change, as regressive as it is for my usage needs. Thank you for clarifying this.
As I said, for me using my local library, the New Additions returned 1000 results. That was 334 pages at 3 books per page. That is beyond what I consider to be a usable number of results since they are not searchable. After I wrote that message, I checked the library web page and it also capped the New Additions at 1000. How far back do you expect New Additions to go? For my local library, that takes me back about 2.5 months even with the increased additions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. My personal opinion is that anything older than 2 months ain't news, it's olds.
