AltaVista News Search Review AltaVista uses Moreover for its searchable database of news resources, which consist of news available from public Web sites.
Coverage goes back to only the most recent two weeks or so.
The Web sites covered by Moreover include major Web news sites as well as lesser known ones. Stories appear to have updates of about an hour or so. Searches are case sensitive. If search terms are entered completely in lower case, all mixtures of upper and lower case are searched. Use a second asterisk to get an additional 5 extra characters.
