ResearchBuzz News -- July 17 - July 23, 2003: "Google News Now Offering Advanced Search
Yay! Google News, even though it's still in beta, is now offering advanced searching with options to limit searches by date and more. The advanced search is available by choosing 'Advanced Search' from http://news.google.com.
If you've ever used the regular Google advanced search, this won't look too unfamiliar. From here you can specify all words, at any words, phrases, and omit words. But also you can specify source, location, and either calendar based date ('from June 20 to July 20') or time span (within the last hour, day, week, or month.)
For those of you who like searching for a basic interface, the syntax for searching by specific location (US state or country) is location:. You can do a simple location search without any keywords -- location:spain works fine by itself. You may NOT do a date search by itself -- for example, you can't search for all articles indexed in the last hour. But you can search for 'the' in the news search as well as Google's Web search. "
