With News Search Engines
Gunn, Holly
Teacher Librarian, v32 n5 p52 Jun 2005
Although there are many news search engines on the Web, finding the news items one wants can be challenging. Choosing appropriate search terms is one of the biggest challenges. Unless one has seen the article that one is seeking, it is often difficult to select words that were used in the headline or text of the article. The limited archives of full-text news articles on the Web pose another obstacle to finding news articles on the free Web. Searchers are generally limited to news articles published in the past 30 days or less when they use news search engines. Even after a week, some newspapers require a login to access the full text of articles. Despite these challenges in finding specific news articles, there are several good news search tools that can help make your news searching experience rewarding. These are AlltheWeb News, Google News, Rocket News, Topix.Net, DayPop, and Search 22.
