Google Unveils "News Search" Beta
http://news.google.com/
Another week goes by and something new from Google. Today, a beta of a
searchable Google news database. It can be accessed at
http://news.google.com or via a box on the Advanced Search page. According
to a company spokesman the database is refreshed with new content every
hour and contains material from over 100 English-language sources. Material
comes from "open web" sites including Newsday, San Francisco Chronicle, The
Guardian, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post and Reuters. Each entry includes
a time stamp of when the content was first crawled and links to related
articles (if available). You can learn more about Google News Search via
this faq http://news.google.com/help/about_news_search.html.
Syntax?
It appears that the Google limit syntax works with the news database.
Examples:
intitle: terms in the headline
intext: terms in the text of the article
site:cnn.com limits from a particular source (if available).
We will keep testing a report back later.
