An extensive searchable archive has been added to the Today's News feature. The archive contains top news stories from the previous 3 months, with results returned by either reverse chronological date order or relevance order. In addition, users can search for a particular headline or locate a word in a headline to narrow search results. A second search method, Date Browse, may be accomplished by simply choosing a date in the past 3 months for which the user wishes to review the top news stories. Once the full text of the article is accessed, the e-mail option appears at the top of the screen.
Users simply type in the appropriate e-mail address and submit the request.
