The Google News Blog announced that Google News has improved how they handle finding news from specific sources.


In the past, the only way to find news from a specific source was to enter [Source: SiteNameHere]. Now you can use a site command, e.g., site:searchengineland.com at Google News, to pull up all articles Google News has in their index from this site.
