At this point, its grasp is<BR>extraordinarily wide, but not that deep. If you want to search newspaper<BR>content, for instance, you'll find all sorts of stuff from the Pittsburgh<BR>Post-Gazette and the St. Petersburg Times. If you want anything from the<BR>New York Times and the Washington Post, though, as yet you're out of luck.<BR><BR>Timeline Navigation: Specifying date ranges<BR><BR>When a date is entered into the search box, the timeline will navigate to<BR>results centered on that period of time. For example, if you type "1977"<BR>into the date field, the timeline will display "January 1977" on the left<BR>side of the timeline.<BR><BR>The zoom level is determined automatically by the search term you enter.<BR><BR>For example, "2002" will set the zoom level to months, while "April 2002"<BR>will set it to weeks and "April 15, 2002" will zoom by days.<BR><BR>Please note that the date field also recognizes phrases like today,<BR>yesterday, this week or last week, and this month or last month...<BR><BR> <A href="http://www.google.com/support/news/bin/answer.py?answer=144273">http://www.google.com/support/news/bin/answer.py?answer=144273</A><BR><BR>--<BR><BR>Cheers people<BR>Stephen Loosley<BR>Victoria, Australia<BR>_______________________________________________<BR><A href="http://www.edulists.com.au/">http://www.edulists.com.au</A> - FAQ, resources, subscribe, unsubscribe<BR>VCE English Teachers' Mailing List kindly supported by<BR><A href="http://www.vate.org.au/">http://www.vate.org.au</A> - Victorian Association for the Teaching of English VATE and<BR><A href="http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/english/index.html">http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/english/index.html</A> - Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority<BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
