| Changes to Google News Archive | Marco H. | 8/19/11 3:14 PM | Hello everyone, We recently removed the Google News Archive search page and redirected it to the News advanced search page where you can search through News Archives along with the entire News index. News Archives -- comprised of both scanned and di |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | pgudmunson | 8/19/11 4:57 PM | So if we want to learn about a something that happened in the past, we have to already know the date that thing happened. Kinda defeats the purpose, Toni. |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | luckyshow | 8/22/11 10:09 AM | No you can't do some of the things claimed above. • One can't search by 100 results in the News Archive search, unless one begins a 100 results a page search in Advanced Search and then clicks News at the top and then clicks the Archives selection on |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | luckyshow | 8/22/11 10:12 AM | P.S.- Public Relations people should stick to their field. This one evidently knows absolutely nothing about good research techniques or even how research is done, and particularly zero about historical research. |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | projectgreywolf | 8/22/11 3:21 PM | Just put it back as it was. It's a real loss to researchers. |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Grano Salis | 8/23/11 6:06 AM | I do not find an "Archives" link on the left navigation bar of news search results pages. It is gone, and I cannot conceive what you intend to accomplish by saying otherwise. I cannot find any combination of advanced search options or context that re |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | projectgreywolf | 8/23/11 7:30 AM | It's a shame that now, having had to go through all the hassle of what is laughingly called "the interface" that upwards of 80% of articles are now pay per view. I'm afraid that's it for me and google. I'm off to Bing to see if they act as stupidly a |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Dana1953 | 8/23/11 8:48 AM | I have never posted to this forum until today, although I've been using Google since the beginning and the Archived News since the month it was first offered. And although I eventually discovered the answer to why I cannot access the archives via th |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Grano Salis | 8/23/11 9:22 AM | Searching by date is not working at Google Books either, see "date range search is not working in google books..." (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/books/thread?tid=4c0854cd84df5459). Someone has screwed up big time. |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | projectgreywolf | 8/23/11 11:43 AM | Is anyone at Google Listening? Put it back or explain, sensibly, why you went ahead and broke something that DID NOT NEED FIXING! |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | pgudmunson | 8/23/11 6:58 PM | It's an affront to learning. It's a proactive assault upon knowledge and all those who wish to acquire it. If there is anyone at Google who has the capacity for shame, you must be feeling it right now. I BEG you, please do something about this. |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Griffin_Mill | 8/23/11 11:35 PM | Sorry, but this is a blatant lie, Google. At least when you're outside the US you get NOTHING from the archive search. Simple one word searches from 1910 to 1970 always end with "Your search did not match any documents". To me at least it seems that |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | pawana | 8/24/11 12:50 AM | don't do that please. |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | detritusmaximus | 8/24/11 7:15 AM | Google...please...we expect much better from you than this! To reduce or eliminate a previously-existing service is tantamount to taking food right off our plates! While I'm sure it must have been a daunting task at first to make available as many ne |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Sports_Realist | 8/24/11 11:06 AM | Toni H, contrary to your comments, the Google News Archives are not fully searchable. The search engine has had its functionality and core features ripped right out of it. Searching is now much more difficult than before and brings back fewer results |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | pgudmunson | 8/24/11 12:47 PM | Is anyone able to get the "Sort by Date" function to work? Any query I enter, I only get 10 pages of results. When you get to page 10 and hit Next, it just reloads page 10. |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Marco H. | 8/24/11 2:12 PM | Hi everyone, When doing your search on Google News, make sure that you click on the 'Archives' link on the left-hand navigation bar. You'll then be able to further narrow searches by specific time periods from within the navigation bar itself by sele |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Sports_Realist | 8/24/11 2:21 PM | Toni, depending on the computer I use and the browser and OS within it, I often don't see the "archive" link at all. Even then, when using the "archives" when it is available in the far left column, the "custom range" option often turns up far fewer |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Swine the Mad | 8/24/11 4:02 PM | Add me in as someone disgusted by the changes in the search functionality of Google News Archives. The custom range does not turn up as many results, either by me manually inputting dates before I search or after searching without date limits. In fac |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | mjprigge | 8/24/11 5:08 PM | This change is awful. There was NOTHING wrong with the old search page. As a student working on an MA in history, it is imperative that I have access to the search engine for the news archives. I am eight months into a two-year research project and I |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | mjprigge | 8/24/11 5:27 PM | And yes, in other browsers, the archives are "searchable" in the way you described. However, the location search does not work, there is no way to sort the article by pay and free to view, and the handy timeline bar is nowhere to be found. Can you at |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Griffin_Mill | 8/25/11 12:13 AM | Sorry, Toni. I'm trying everything you guys say for a week now and still no results. Neither from the advanced search menu nor from klicking the Archives button. This is not a user error, it's on your side |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | Aimee Wilbury | 8/25/11 10:32 AM | I am very disappointed in Google. The old Archive Search worked just perfectly and importantly (for me) was able to sort by free and paid. Why scrap it? |
| Re: Changes to Google News Archive | agq123 | 8/25/11 11:32 AM | What happened to Google's 'focus on the user'? http://www.google.com/about/corporate/company/tenthings.html “The perfect search engine,” says co-founder Larry Page, “would understand exactly what you mean and give back exactly what you want.” 1. |
