What happened to Yahoo!'s "Advanced News Search" ?

• For ages I've been using Yahoo!'s "Advanced News Search" daily to scan international newspapers and wire services for information on topics I'm researching. Yesterday, the links to the Advanced News Search page disappeared from Yahoo!, as far as I can tell. The Advanced Web Search tool is still available, but for the life of me I can't find the Advanced News Search. Was this service discontinued? If not, can anyone point me to where it is now?

• Answer:

  It seems Yahoo "upgraded" it's search bar feature. Here is an article dated April 1, 2010: "We are unveiling a new look for Yahoo! Sports Search and News Search today, featuring a new layout, handy new filtering tools, related search suggestions and rich results that help you find what you’re looking for quickly and seamlessly." http://www.ysearchblog.com/ Also from same page: New look for Yahoo! News Search Result Page "Many of the new features you see on the new Yahoo! Sports search results page are also now available on the revamped Yahoo! News search results page." The article suggest going to this page, which is the generic Yahoo Search page, click NEWS: http://news.search.yahoo.com/ more: "On the left column, you’ll see that we introduced a tool to filter your searches by popular news sources. This new filter is easy to use and lets you see only stories from specific news sources. You can also use the Filter by Time tool on the left column to narrow the search results by time and see stories published within the last hour, day, or week. Choose “Past Day” in the news search result page for the query “obama,” you’ll see only results published within the last day. The document count next to the news sources on the left column will update to reflect the number of results published within the last day. Of course, our rich results for news images and news videos are also updated with the past day’s results." The bottom line, is Yahoo has tried to "improve" their search (probably a Bing thing) and wants their search engine to do it for you. I might suggest using the old manual way.
