Googling 'Google News': about an hour ago, I saw a story about

the huge turnout in San Francisco for the peace rally. When I went back, I can find hide nor hair about it on the front page, nor even if I google 'news' for it. :crazy: What is now google news for a Saturday night?

"Clear and sunny Saturday in store for Texas"

Does anyone care about the weather in TX (it's been lovely, BTW)?

To me, this is just bizarro. I think I need a new search engine.

1. Google has been acting very funny lately

I've notice when searching Google news for stories on Iraq, sometimes a search only shows titles of articles older than an hour. Since usually over several dozen stories an hour have the word Iraq in it, something is not right.

Yep, gotta watch that Google these days.

2. Someone has to be censoring it is all I come up with. nt

3. try this link

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=San+Francisco&ie=UTF-8&scoring=n
(this is sorted by date and time)

The stories on the first page are 'all on the same page' regarding "thousands" of protesters, but 3 pages in, there's an ABC story titled "Peace Marches Draw Tens of Thousands Nationwide", and the text below it says something about 15,000 in San Francisco. Not sure if that's what you saw, or not. Keep paging back ... and keep in mind that while it was three pages back for me at the time of this posting, it will get buried deeper and deeper as time rolls on.

5. Thanks for that. The story I saw was specific to San Fran and now

I can't find it, but that's a good one, too. I didn't delve deeper than the first page though.

4. If you just straight google without "News", these come up.

Get rid of Google. Try clusty.com or Scroogle: http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm

An estimated 10,000 people joined a march in Chicago and in San Francisco there was an even greater turnout.
