Searching for News Articles

While reading Google News' current headlines is nice, if you're searching for specific stories or older stories, you need to use Google's Advanced News Search. You access this advanced search from the Google News page by clicking the Advanced News Search link.

As you can see in Figure 29.8, you can use the Advanced News Search to search by a variety of parameters, as detailed in Table 29.1.
