Today Google Inc. launches a new news archive search that allows you to search and explore historical archivesup to 300 years oldand create timelines to view the results from particular time periods.
The new tool appears on the Google News homepage. Archive listings also will be featured on the bottom of the regular Google Search results page within the next few days, said Anurag Acharya, a Google distinguished engineer.When you do a search you can either search using Search Archives or Show Timetable. The Search Archives feature will search and attempt to rank the results based on the relevance of the history event being searched so that the articles that would be of interest to the user will be displayed first. Google takes into account the full text of each article, the publication in which the article appears, how often the underlying event has been referred to or described, in what manner and by whom. The Show Timetable will organize the articles by year and will flag certain key years related to the event being searched for easy viewing.Some major publications that have been archived and are being searched are the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Time magazine.For more information or to use the news archive search, click here.
