News Timeline Offers Powerful Search Options

Google has announced the addition of Google News Timeline as a Google Labs experimental service.

Google News Timeline is what it sounds like — a tool that lets you see news coverage over a period of time and Google has added a number of user controls that lets you customize the tool in several different ways. You can:

* choose from a variety of news types, such as newspapers, magazines, blogs, videos, images, and more
* see content from multiple sources at the same time
* see daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or even a decade-by-decade timeline for your query
* change the display size to see more or less results
* include or avoid content from data sources like Wikipedia and TIME magazine, or certain newspapers and blogs
